Development of an Ontology Based Forensic Search Mechanism: Proof of Concept
This addresses the challenge of handling electronic evidence for law enforcement, but it is incremental as it builds on existing ontology concepts.
The paper tackled the problem of searching large electronic evidence for law enforcement by developing a proof-of-concept forensic tool based on an ontology design, demonstrating that it produces efficient searching.
This paper examines the problems faced by Law Enforcement in searching large quantities of electronic evidence. It examines the use of ontologies as the basis for new forensic software filters and provides a proof of concept tool based on an ontological design. It demonstrates that efficient searching is produced through the use of such a design and points to further work that might be carried out to extend this concept.
