摘 要：Information sharing and collaboration among federal, state, and local agencies has been repeatedly stressed as a part of the national security strategy. The emphasis has been on interagency communication and has largely left unaddressed the need for internal information system improvements. This thesis will examine how Web 2.0 technology as part of an emergent social software platform (ESSP) can be used to improve intra-agency law enforcement criminal information sharing and collaboration.
