An Ontological Approach to Intelligence Gathering using Semantic Metadata

We discuss our research into combat- ting the problem of effectively presenting next to real-time knowledgeable answers to run-time user generated queries, from disparate sources. The paper explores the foundations of our research for the design of an Information Gathering tool based on the Intelligence Domain; focusing on the exploration of semantic metadata, incorporating ontologies and implementing swarm intelligence theory in the conceptualisation of the system design for the IGUSMON Project, in order to present an �efficient and innovative solution.
