Link Analysis

The key operations in any investigation, in addition to the data collection and fusion, are the relation among different pieces of evidence from the collections and as a peak of the process, the analysis of the obtained associations.

MindCite solution offers a cutting edge technology to support the Link Analysis process. It enables basic as well as highly advanced functionalities to meet the operational needs of investigators and analysts. These range from the data fusion through creation of linked charts of relations with powerful visualization techniques to rule-based alerts and inferences that would allow automating of the retrieval process of objects identification.

How Does It Work?

CiteLink, MindCite flag product for Link Analysis, is based on "metadata" which is, in layman's terms, "data about data". Metadata can describe just about anything: persons (name, age, ID), bank accounts (branch, credit, amount), vehicles (license plate, model, color) and so on. In addition to describing individuals, metadata can describe relations between individuals, like a person's bank account and his vehicle.

A key element in any investigation is "connecting the dots" - the relation between different pieces of evidence and the analysis of the obtained associations. Link Analysis takes metadata from databases, tables and unstructured information, processes and presents it in the form of a visual graph. The ability to visualize masses of otherwise unintelligible data in a semantic way of an individual's relation to another individual significantly accelerates and effectuates intelligence output.

Any investigation performing professionals in the HomeLand Security or Law Enforcement agencies will find the Link Analysis solution of MindCite essential and imperative.
