REGISTRATION: http://www.mitre.org/register/oic/ (047)
November 30, 2007 * LOCKHEED MARTIN SCIF, HANOVER, MD (048)

View and Register for the UNCLASSIFIED Workshop Days One and Two at
http://ncor.us/oic2007/ (050)
Please continue to check this site for updated information. (051)
The increasing volume, variety and velocity of intelligence analysis
requires new approaches that will enable greater flexibility,
precision, timeliness and automation of analysis to maximize valuable
human resources in responding to fast-evolving threats. Ontology-based
technology as applied in areas such as bioinformatics has demonstrated
the possibility of gains along all of these dimensions. The time is
ripe to extend these gains also to other spheres. (052)
This Classified Session (TS/SCI) will occur on November 30, 2007, and
bring together experts on ontology-based technology with particular
experience in the problems facing the intelligence community, and
intelligence community members who are actively guiding or involved in
ontology related programs. It will feature invited talks from prominent
ontologists, and intelligence community leaders, developers, and
analysts, as well as a number of panels focusing on the use of
ontologies to support the work of intelligence analysis. (053)

Clearance passing procedure: (072)
Below are the procedures for sending clearances through the LM
government customer to gain cleared access to the LM facility for the
OIC Classified Session: (073)
Interagency VR Process: (074)
If a LM employee, Associate or government representative is NOT cleared
with the Hanover customer and wishes to have general access to the
Hanover SCIF, an Interagency VR is required. The minimum clearance
requirement for attendance at the seminar and unescorted access to the
facility is TS/SI/TK. (075)
The Process: (076)
Visitors will request of their local Program Security Representative to
send an Interagency VR to "Lockheed Martin Hanover, MD", with the
following instructions: "Hold and Pass to Lockheed Martin Hanover,
Maryland". These instructions are very important to the routing and
filing of the VR. If the instructions do not say "Hold" the customer
will not keep the message for 30 days. They will discard it. If the
instructions do not say "Pass" they will not deliver it to Lockheed
Martin Hanover, MD. (077)
The Program Security Representative (PSR) will initiate the visit
request through their local government customer. A message (not an
email) will be sent between government agencies. This message will have
a reference number, called "Date Time Group" or DTG. The distant PSR
may forward the DTG to the Hanover Security Representative but it is
not required. The DTG can be used locally to assist the customer in
tracking the incoming message in instances when a VR was not received.
After the VR is sent by the visitor's agency, it will be processed by
the Hanover customer. The customer will send the Interagency VR
information to Lockheed Martin via a unclassified fax. (078)
When the visitor shows up at the receptionist desk, the receptionist
will ask the visitor to type in his/her SSN. Assuming it matches, the
visitor will be granted access to the facility. If it does not match, a
PSR or the Security Manager will work with the individual to acquire
his clearance information. This may take time depending on multiple
factors. (079)
NSA representatives should use the CONCERTO system to forward
clearances to Lockheed Martin, 7100 Standard Drive, Hanover, MD. 21076. (080)
Prohibited Items: (081)
This meeting will be held inside a SCIF, so please remember to leave
all cell phone, PDAs, PEDs, two way pagers, laptops, USB devices, any
device utilizing WIFI or any item that has the ability to record audio
or video based information at home, at your office, or in your vehicle. (082)
