Abstract

In some contexts, it is more important to find a single datum than to find many data which satisfy some criteria of interest. In the domain of police analysis, the discovery of a single datum may make it possible to determine, for example, the structure of a criminal organisation from already known structures that appeared initially unrelated, or to discover the single identity of a criminal who was hiding behind several aliases.

To search for a potentially interesting datum, we suggest two approaches. The first approach makes use of our system to process incomplete, dynamic knowledge, contributed by several informants. In the second approach, we propose a single paradigm, the search in neighborhoods of a case, to search for and discover items of interest.
