What Does an Intelligence Analyst Do?

The United States "Defense Dictionary of Military and Related Terms" believes that intelligence analysis is the process of converting processed information into intelligence to meet the needs of known or expected users by synthesizing, evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting all source data.

Intelligence analysis

Right!

Chinese name: Intelligence analysis
main feature: Knowledge transference value confidentiality timeliness

Define source: Dictionary of Military and Related Terms of Defense
Yes: The processed information is transformed into an intelligence process.

Knowledge, transmission, value, confidentiality and timeliness are the main characteristics of intelligence information.

Generally speaking, intelligence analysis has the following steps:

Intelligence analysis information resource construction

CISTI's information resources are mainly based on literature and digital resources. It has one of the largest libraries in North America. The Institute's scientific and technological information collections rank first in North America, and it is also one of the world's largest collections of conference proceedings and technical reports. 1]. In March 2005, CISTI and NRC jointly formulated the "CISTI 2005-2010 Strategic Plan" designed to enable all Canadians to seamlessly access full-text digital content anytime, anywhere. The plan establishes a Canadian scientific information infrastructure based on digital content, technological foundations, and easy-to-use discovery tools through strategic collaboration with libraries and information communities [2]. CISTI also recently published a new document development policy that guides document development over the next five years, which defines a framework for developing and managing CISTI documents to ensure that documents support CISTI requirements, perspectives, tasks, and strategic planning [3].

Intelligence analysis database construction

During the construction of CISTI information resources, great importance was attached to the construction of databases, especially to the construction of oral information resources. In addition, in the process of secondary information resource construction, it is not limited to the construction of public publication databases. In the process of information research, more scientific and technical reports, conference papers, plans and plans, annual reports, and case libraries And other forms of information resource database construction [4]. In addition, in order to provide dynamic notification services, CISTI has developed a catalog database, CISTI Source, in cooperation with European information suppliers [5].

Intelligence Analysis Research Method

CISTI's intelligence research method for technical competitive intelligence service is called Strategic Technical Information Analysis (STIA). The business information collected in the database helps decision makers identify the potential value of development strategies for R & D projects and the development of public technology investments into Canadian company wealth [3].

Intelligence analysis research process

Based on the OCLC model, CISTI established an information analysis model based on digital information flow, which explained the highly complex and fully interactive characteristics of information flow in today's scientific and medical information environment [5].

Intelligence analysis intelligence analysis platform

Using a cutting-edge architecture approach, CISTI has established a reliable technology platform with scalable storage capabilities to ensure long-term access to digital content stored in CISTI. At the same time, a patent analysis platform has been established to conduct in-depth mining and analysis of patent information. CISTI uses Focust products for patent analysis. CISTI's patent analysis mainly includes three parts: retrieval module, citation module, and analysis module.

a. Retrieval module. As the basis of this Wisdomain Focust system, the retrieval module searches, browses and organizes patents through a standard browsing interface. The database includes family database and patentee database. Patent data includes US, JP, EP, PCT and INPADOC. The search interface enables users to use advanced users to search or search queries, such as keywords, patent numbers or some alternative search paths. .

b. Reference module. As part of Focus, the citation module covers all references that cite a patent, and shows the citation relationship to help users: discover new financial revenue channels from the patents they hold, determine how to handle unexpected patent infringement litigation Methods, find external business partners, avoid risks, and build defensive plans. There are three analysis methods in the cited module: forward analysis, backward analysis, and indirect analysis.

c. Analysis module. In order to meet professional needs, the analysis module uses various functions to mine valuable information, including text mining analysis, advanced visualization, flexible text management, etc. [4].
