Semantic technology applications for homeland security

ngine (SCORE) is among the earliest commercialized Semantic Web technologies. Based on supporting and exploiting domain specific ontologies, it offers advanced capability in heterogeneous content processing analysis, and integration at a higher semantic level-- rather than merely syntactical and structural level approaches based on XML and RDF. These capabilities are now being demonstrated in addressing requirements of very demanding Homeland Security and National Security applications. This paper briefly describes two of them.
