It's not open source though. It's an open standard listing (all?) the items that one could access using Bloomberg's internal standardised naming scheme from a Terminal.
Indeed. This kind of thing really irks me: the military talking about 'open source' intelligence when they just mean publicly published intelligence, or creeps like Calacanis using in his interview today in some other odd way.
As far as I know the use of the term "Open Source" intelligence in the military has no link to Open Source software.
Yes, that's what I'm complaining about.
The Open Source Initiative has previously gotten some flak for not having the foresight to trademark the term "open source".
The term "open source intelligence" predates open source (software) as a name, or even as a concept.
