Bob Gourley cited in Computerworld
Bob Gourley was CTO of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the U.S. Department of Defense’s lead intelligence agency, until he left six months ago to join consulting firm Crucial Point LLC. The DIA gave Gourley permission to speak to Computerworld about the DIA’s use of mashups.
The agency has used JackBe’s mashup server to mash together data from different internal systems and display that data geographically for analysts, Gourley said. “We’d really like to empower our users to take any data from any source and interact with it and sometimes plot it over a map but sometimes put it on a bar chart,” he noted. “We really want to maximize the way that users interact with data and discover new knowledge.”
