Abstract

Intelligence analysts face the need for immediate, up-to-date information about individuals of interest. While biographies can be writtenand stored in text databases, we argue that they can get quicklyobsolete for living persons. We present here the architecture of PROGENIE,a biographical description generator currently under construction,focusing on the requirements of the task and its impact on potentialusers.
