I would like to inform all IBSSA members that since April 2003 in Russian Coordinating Office the Information and Analytic Centre (IAC) is acting. IAC represents the hard and soft complex and has the following properties

• IAC is designed for automated data management and analysis of huge information flow.
• IAC combines the decision support expertise with competitive intelligence tools to give to the customer a complete competitive intelligence solution.
• IAC compiles all the knowledge and tools the customer needs from all existing sources including mass media, systems, data stores, file cabinets and desktops.

Our centre has the following benefits

• The object-oriented description of the chosen subject field
• Information filling of system
• Integration of information from full-text mass-media databases and manifold factual databases into universal data storage (UDS)
• Adding new types of objects, properties, relations inside UDS
• Setting dynamic properties of objects using event-driven approach
• Tracking interrelations between objects
• Building of global semantic net
• Making a comparison the coverage of the certain event by the different sources of information
• Tracking of the information exchange between different sources
• Formulation complex criteria of demand fetching

In other words, IAC is possible to monitor all the Internet fields (nowadays more than 600 sources regardless of the language used), different databases, other open and closed information sources, towards any object chosen (personality, entity, kind of business, problems). In that way if object was mentioned even once somewhere, our system finds him and can do with him any analytic operation aforecited.

The main feature is the possibility to find implicit relations between the objects, to analyse them and to build so called global semantic net by means of which implicit relations are emerged.

The object study takes very short time, because one operator working in IAC processes about 600 documents per day (about 1,5 minutes for each document). Information continuously (24 hours) flows from Internet and other sources to the system.

We offer to use this tool for real information and analytical work in IBSSA or in entities, which constitute information network inside the association.
