English abstract

Intelligence gathering is an essential function for governments, security agencies, and organizations worldwide. It involves the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information critical to decision-making, security, and strategic planning. In this age of information abundance, the field of intelligence gathering has evolved, with knowledge engineering playing a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and effective information management and analysis. A process of intelligence gathering begins when a user enters a query into the system. In knowledge engineering, intelligence gathering consists in finding information from structured and unstructured sources in a way that must represent knowledge in a way that facilitates inference. This essay explores the significance of knowledge engineering in intelligence gathering, highlighting its applications, challenges, and future prospects.

Romanian abstract

Colectarea informațiilor este o funcție esențială pentru guverne, servicii de informații și organizații din întreaga lume. Aceasta implică colectarea, analiza și diseminarea informațiilor esențiale pentru luarea deciziilor, securitate și planificare strategică. În această epocă a abundenței informațiilor, domeniul culegerii de informații a evoluat, ingineria cunoașterii jucând un rol esențial în asigurarea unei gestionări și analize efective și eficiente a informațiilor. Un proces de colectare a informațiilor începe atunci când un utilizator introduce o interogare în sistem. În ingineria cunoașterii, colectarea de informații constă în găsirea de informații din surse structurate și nestructurate într-un mod care trebuie să reprezinte cunoașterea într-un mod care să faciliteze inferența. Acest eseu explorează importanța ingineriei cunoașterii în culegerea de informații, evidențiind aplicațiile, provocările și perspectivele de viitor ale acesteia.
