Abstract

Knowledge and experience play an important role in the successful application of operational analysis. But how can knowledge be saved and shared in a large organization? How can different viewpoints on the data be supported? Another challenge is to foster communication and cooperation between analysts. This is especially important for distributed teams such as deployed operational analysists and their reach-back components. We present a concept that emphasizes connections between stored information and enables a fast and comfortable retrievement of the data. Furthermore, security concerns can be addressed. The innovative concept was implemented as a prototype using the open-source content management framework Drupal for a govermental organization but can be easily transferred to other areas -- for instance organizations working in humanitarian logistics.
