(U//FOUO) Are you wondering what you are supposed to do with
your SEMESTER working aids when you migrate away from
SEMESTER and SANDTERM? Well, you can relax, because there are
solutions available. As briefed by the Legacy Data Migration - Voice
Task Team, Document Management System (DMS) and HOMEBASE
eWorkSpace (eWS) are viable alternatives. DMS is preferred for
handling file-based, non-fielded data and eWS for fielded data.
(U//FOUO) DMS is a document management and analytic
knowledge sharing system. It provides users with DMS "My Files"
repositories, which can be customized and personalized. In
addition, DMS gives users access to large numbers of need-toknow documents for read and search purposes. Currently, there
are approximately 50 organizational repositories available in DMS.
(U//FOUO) What do you need to do to get your working aids
moved to DMS? Actually, moving the documents is the easy part.
Organizing the documents is what requires the time and effort. So,
that is what you need to start doing: each office should review the
working aids they have and eliminate any that are unnecessary or
no longer used. All documents that remain need to be categorized.
Contact
, for more complete guidance
and to begin the process of migrating your information to this new
system.
(U//FOUO) What about that fielded data? eWS to the rescue! An
eWS is a collaboration tool that help analysts share, collect,
analyze and report on targets of interest through a single data
broker.
(U//FOUO) HomeBase eWorkSpaces are web-accessible databases
that help you handshake with analysts around the world who
pursue the same targets of interest. You can post a network
diagram based off someone else's FactSheet and fill in more
information into the related eWorkSpace based on your research.
You can post hypotheses and get different perspectives. You may
choose to discuss your conclusions with your Second Party
partners. Talk about it online with instant messaging.
(U//FOUO) Then take another look at all your target records
grouped by nationality, location, organization, and profession -any way you choose to organize them. "Drill down" to any record
when some detail catches your attention. Export information of
interest to a file and include that information into other reports or
in another totally different application like network analysis tools or
mapping systems.
