NGA
Magnifies the Value of Open Source GEOINT
It may be hard to believe in the
value of unclassified information to the Intelligence Community since
it's "open." But this open source information - from the Internet,
books, journals, reports, newspapers, television and Twitter - is
indeed of high interest. An Open Source Working Group survey found that
90 percent of NGA's GEOINT production required open source data. Chris
Lee looks at the importance of open source information for GEOINT.
Correction: Monday's
newsletter listed an incorrect e-mail for Alberto Santos, the executive
director of Directions Magazine Español. The correct
e-mail address is: asantos@directionsmag.com. We regret the error.
