Gem Intelligence Structure

Enterprise Intelligence in GEM is a collection of sensed and recorded data, treated as resources, that guide enterprise decisions in responding to changes. It encompasses aspects of "sense, analyze, respond" operations known as netcentricity. These intelligence resources are best managed together to provide integrated information for decisions. GEM categorizes intelligence in terms of questions like location, who, what, why, how, when to provide context. The key intelligence categories in GEM are Location, Organization, Organization Unit, Function, Process, Resource, and Requirement, forming an "upper ontology" for knowledge modeling and management.
