 VII. MASINT: Measurement and Signatures Intelligence
In summary, intelligence disciplines are differentiated on the basis of the type of information being collected and extracted through processing and exploitation -- not on the physical basis of the collection system employed or the intelligence problem being addressed.
Because of the highly technical means utilized, most MASINT systems' focus has been on the longer-term (i.e., not "real-time") analysis of data to determine characteristics, signatures, target templates, etc. With the advent of modern processing techniques and capabilities, MASINT systems have an increased potential for doing their analysis in near real- or real-time.
Intelligence sensors must have the ability to measure and define fully the target threat or signature needed.

Indeed, the equipment needed to conduct most basic technical collection missions (microphones, cameras, and receivers) is widely available in the commercial market at prices that even amateur hobbyists could afford and thereby conduct collection missions in almost any environment.

 Business Intelligence: Technical Considerations When Business Intelligence Applications Access ERP Databases   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
One of the many distinguishing characteristics between the various ERP software vendors is their naming convention for the database schema tables and columns.
The naming conventions that are used by ERP software vendors are unique to their products and require a technical reference manual in order to decipher and understand the purpose of a table or the characteristics of a column.
For example, if you were trying to locate the purchase order number within the database schema of one ERP vendor, you would have to locate the column named "segment1" within the table, "PO_HEADERS." This naming convention is not intuitive and requires an intimate knowledge of the ERP database schema in order to extract data.
