Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: The Open Source Center (OSC), redesignated Open Source Enterprise (OSE) in 2015. Part of the Intelligence Community's OSINT infrastructure, not a dedicated UAP organization. Mentions in UAP corpus likely reflect general IC intelligence sharing.

The Open Source Center (OSC) was established by the Director of National Intelligence on November 8, 2005, within the CIA, and was designed to serve as the Intelligence Community's focal point for open-source intelligence (OSINT) collection and analysis. It succeeded the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS, est. 1941) and was tasked with collecting information from the Internet, databases, press, radio, television, video, geospatial data, photos, and commercial imagery for intelligence purposes. On October 1, 2015, the OSC was redesignated the Open Source Enterprise (OSE) and fully incorporated into the CIA's Directorate of Digital Innovation. The organization had no specific UAP/UFO investigative mandate but served as an intelligence resource across the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Desambiguação: The Open Source Center (OSC), redesignated Open Source Enterprise (OSE) in 2015. Part of the Intelligence Community's OSINT infrastructure, not a dedicated UAP organization. Mentions in UAP corpus likely reflect general IC intelligence sharing.

O Open Source Center (OSC) foi estabelecido pelo Diretor de Inteligência Nacional em 8 de novembro de 2005, dentro da CIA, e foi projetado para servir como ponto focal da Comunidade de Inteligência para coleta e análise de inteligência de código aberto (OSINT). Sucedeu o Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS, est. 1941) e foi encarregado de coletar informações da Internet, bancos de dados, imprensa, rádio, televisão, vídeo, dados geoespaciais, fotos e imagens comerciais para fins de inteligência. Em 1º de outubro de 2015, o OSC foi redesignado Open Source Enterprise (OSE) e totalmente incorporado à Diretoria de Inovação Digital da CIA. A organização não tinha mandato de investigação específico de UAP/UFO, mas serviu como recurso de inteligência em toda a Comunidade de Inteligência dos EUA.
