Resumen
MAGNETO SC7 H2020 addresses significant needs of law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in their fight against terrorism and
organised crime, related to the massive volumes, heterogeneity and fragmentation of the data that officers have to
analyse for the prevention, investigation and prosecution of criminal offences. These needs have been identified
after consulting with eleven different European LEAs –members of the MAGNETO consortium. In response,
MAGNETO empowers LEAs with superior crime analysis, prevention and investigation capabilities, by researching
and providing tailored solutions and tools based on sophisticated knowledge representation, advanced semantic
reasoning and augmented intelligence, well integrated in a common, modular platform with open interfaces. By using
the MAGNETO platform, LEAs will have unparalleled abilities to fuse and analyse multiple massive heterogeneous
data sources, uncover hidden relationships among data items, compute trends for the evolution of security incidents,
ultimately (and at a faster pace) reaching solid evidence that can be used in Court, gaining also better awareness
and understanding of current or past security-related situations. In parallel, MAGNETO will spark an ecosystem of
third-party solution providers benefiting from its open, modular and reusable architectural framework and standard
interfaces.
To achieve these objectives, MAGNETO will test and demonstrate its developments on five representative and
complementary use cases (types of crime), under real-life operational conditions in the facilities of eleven different
LEAs, keeping them continuously in the production loop, adopting an agile implementation methodology and a
multi-disciplinary scientific approach, combining researchers with exceptional track records, officers with top-level
operational know-how in law enforcement, recognised experts for legal and ethical compliance to EU and national
standards, and qualified training experts for innovative curricula development.
