Triage projects focused on the analytic process of finding information of intelligence value within large data sets. The Triage team’s efforts this year focused on assembling data for better data management and search processes (Search); integrating and presenting data to allow analysts to discover the "knowns and unknowns" (Exploration); discovering data most relevant to the user's workflow (Prioritization); extracting knowledge and value from unstructured data (Extraction); and addressing data deduplication and linkage issues to maximize value while minimizing retention costs (Retention). Additionally, the Triage team focused some of its efforts on understanding and characterizing the processes and behaviors that analysts demonstrate while using software tools for information search tasks (Analyst Behavior).
