Open Source Information System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Open Source Information System (OSIS) is an American unclassified network serving the US intelligence community with open source intelligence.

OSIS contents include:

CIRC (Central Information Reference and Control) A database of over 10 million titles on scientific and technical topics, including patents, standards, military equipment and systems.

Conference Database of upcoming symposia, congresses, and conventions in the areas of science, technology, engineering, politics, and economics.

DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) map collection [from NIMA] provides global coverage.

FBIS (Foreign Broadcast Information Service) products include the Daily Reports, Science & Technology Perspectives, Trends, and Pacific Rim Economic Review.

IC ROSE database service provides searchable text articles from hundreds of periodicals on a wide range of subjects.

TCOM (Telecommunications) contains abstracts and complete articles on telecommunications related topics.

TEL (Technical Equipment List) indexes over 100,000 brochures and manuals on telecommunications and related equipment.

Additional commercial datasources, such as Oxford Analytica, as well as unclassified library holdings of several OSIS member agencies, including DIA, reside on OSIS. OSIS also offers specialised software and other tools to assist users in analysis and graphical interpretations of data.

OSIS currently makes available the National Air Intelligence Center's (NAIC) SYSTRAN ® machine translation (MT) capability to provide "real time" rough translations of foreign language information.

OSIS users access the World Wide Web and employ the full range of Internet protocols to collect information and conduct business with U.S. Government, academic and industrial organizations. OSIS users are seen by non-U.S. Government Internet clients as "osis.gov".

A firewall prevents non-OSIS Internet users from accessing the OSIS.
