Abstract

Intelligence analysts must explore and evaluate volumes of data, from narrative recordings of field agents to open source news articles. Insights from visual analytics projects and a hypothetical scenario show the potential of visual analytics to aid these investigations. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/omdcECs5_uA is a video segment showing exploration of a 9/11 report using the Jigsaw visual analytics system.
