KM Multi-Repository Search Engine
With the explosion of databases and portals of knowledge artifacts throughout the United States Department of Defense, as well as access restrictions placed on them by community/ forums leaders, it is difficult for Soldiers to quickly find and apply relevant information in support of their combat mission. The Battle Command Knowledge System (BCKS) has provided the resources and leadership to implement the Warrior Knowledge Base (WKB), an online repository of data assets/artifacts and platform for conducting federated searches across domains. The BCKS vision is to make it easy for Soldiers to find trusted data assets from portals and domains throughout the Army and the DoD, so information can be captured, repurposed and shared within minutes. Most repositories are not structured to support semantic searches of their content, only searches of indexed information, which hinders discovery. They cannot provide the real-time linkage between the data asset and the forum where it is being discussed and validated. The BCKS leadership and vision brings industry-leading search and content management technology to Soldiers worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words search and/or engine:
“A way of certifying experience, taking photographs is also a way of refusing it—by limiting experience to a search for the photogenic, by converting experience into an image, a souvenir. Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
