Abstract: A system and method for data mining using domain-level context is provided. The system includes a computer system and a contextual data mining engine executed by the computer system. The system mines and analyzes large volumes of open-source documents/data for analysts to quickly find documents of interest. Documents/data are encoded into an ontological database and represented as a graph in the database linking contextual entities to find patterns and anomalies in context. Documents are separately analyzed by the system and scored on several different scales. The resulting information could be presented to the user via a visualization interface which allows the user to explore the data and quickly navigate to documents of interest.
