Semantic annotations for digital investigations

Published:30 October 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we describe how we believe semantic annotations can help in the provision of support for digital investigation activities for analysts searching for information in large document collections. In particular, we are interested in developing tools to support the activities of lawyers in corporate litigation. In current applications, information such as key characters and events and relations among them has to be mostly manually identified and collected from the collection of documents. We describe here our current and future work on the construction of a system that provides tools and mechanisms for helping users better extract, navigate, select and store such information. We also discuss interesting challenges that we have identified during this work.
