counterterrorism investigators and analysts, and then incrementally increase the range and effectiveness of that support for other criminal investigations. This plan transitions us away from separate systems containing separate data (ACS, Te/Apps) towards an investigative Database Warehouse (/OW) that contains all data that can legally be stored together. The IDW provides the Bureau with a single access point to several data sources that were previously available only through separate, stove-piped systems. By providing consolidated access to the data, forthe first time analytical tools can be used across data sources to provide a more complete view of the information possessed by the Bureau. 1 SCOPE The initial step toward the IDW was the implementation of the Secure Counterterrorist Operational Prototype Environment (SCOPE) program. Under the SCOPE program we quickly consolidated counterterrorism information from various data sources, providing analysts at Headquarters with substantially greater access to more information in far less time than with other FBI investigative systems. The SCOPE database also gave us an opportunity to test new capabilities in a controlled environment. This prototype environment has now been replaced by the IDW. 2 Investigative Data Warehouse The IDW, delivered tn its first phase to the Office of Intelligence in January 2004, now provides analysts with full access to investigative information within FBI files, including ACS and VGTOF data, open source news feeds, and the files of other federal agencies such as DHS. The IDW provides. physical storage for data and allows users to access that. data without needing to know its physica! location or format. The data in the IDW is at the Secret level, and the addition of TS/SCI level data is in the planning stages. Later this year, we plan to enhance the IDW by adding additional data sources, such as Suspicious Activity Reports, and by making It easier to search. When the IDW is complete, agents and analysts using new analytical teo!s will be able to search rapidly for pictures of knawn terrorists and match or compare the pictures with other individuals in minutes rather - than days. They will be able to extract subjects’ addresses, phone numbers, and other data in seconds, rather than searching for it manually. They will have the ability to. identify relationships across cases. They will be able to search up to 100 million pages of international terrorism-related documents in seconds 3 Master Data Warehouse Ultimately, we plan to turn the IDW into a Master Data Warehouse (MDW) that will include the administrative data required by the FBI to manage its internal business processes in addition to the investigative data. MDW will grow to eventually provide physical data storage for, and became the system of record for, all FBI electronic files Analytical Tools We are introducing advanced analytical tools to help us make the most of the data stored in the IDW. These tools allow FBI agents and analysts to look across multiple cases and multiple data sources to identify relationships and other pieces of information that were not readily MISC poc. #5 4 000000393
