Terrorism Knowlege Base Adds New Features Including Visualization Tool
From the announcement.
The TKB team is proud to announce the release of the Europe Media Monitor (EMM) on TKB. EMM is a new feature which significantly upgrades TKB’s ability to provide relevant and important terrorism news in real-time.
The EMM News Explorer provides breaking news coupled with sophisticated tools for analysis, and visual mapping features that give TKB users the ability to go beyond the headlines.
EMM news modules have been placed on group, leader and country profiles, offering targeted terrorism news in a matter of seconds.
Users can also employ EMM’s visual mapping tools to explore relationships between leaders to elucidate how terrorist networks operate in our ever-shrinking world. Example: al-Qaeda
Note the new news and visualization tools located on the right side of the page. Powered by the EMM News Explorer (a site that looks like it’s worth a closer look).What is the European News Explorer?
Europe Media Monitor (EMM) reads and analyses around 40.000 new news items per day. One of the results of this analysis is the clusters of the main stories in several languages. The selection and placement of stories are determined automatically by a computer program. This site is a joint project of DG-JRC and DG-COMM.
