Here's the important Intellipedia text from the
National Defense Magazine:
“Intellipedia,” as it is called, allows analysts to create a subject, then add their knowledge or documents to the “collaboration space,” [Richard Russell, deputy assistant director of national intelligence for information sharing and customer outreach at the office of the director of national intelligence] said at a conference sponsored by the Association for Enterprise Integration.
Intellipedia was created so “analysts in different agencies that work X or Y can go in and see what other people are doing on subject X or Y and actually add in their two cents worth ... or documents that they have,” Russell said.
“What we’re after here is decision superiority” not information superiority, he said. “We have to get inside the decision cycle of the enemy. We have to be able to discover what they’re doing and respond to it effectively.”
On a more open scale, the intelligence community recently collaborated with Health and Human Services to set up a “sensitive, but non-classified” avian flu portal that can be used by interested parties. Such forums are relatively easy to set up because 90 percent of the information on the subject is unclassified.
It's great to see that senior leaders are starting to get it! So is there anything that may prevent Intellipedia from becoming a success across the community? Or would you say that it already is a success?
