Background
Free-Text Retrieval Tool Replacement
Options for the replacement of the current
search and retrieval tool were discussed at

Future Enhancements
Not only
• Productivity improvements via HOLMES 2
But also help key challenges in force
• Data sharing and consistency
• Intelligence
• Single points of entry

Technology Saving Time
What if you could
• Export your search results to analysis tools
• Query once and be notified of any results matching
your search for the life of your investigation
• Search across Casualty Bureau AND Incident Room
• Retrieve matches from every incident in your system
IDOL Seminar October 2006

Data Sharing
Common data standards
for Force applications
• HOLMES 2 can export
data from IDOL in the
police standard format
• PITO CorDM or “CRISP”
schema
• Allows different
applications to share and
utilise the information
held within HOLMES 2

Intelligence
Access to disparate data sources through a single interface
• Retrieve information from
multiple sources through
IDOL
• Search many repositories
with one query in a single
view
• Make better use of the data
stored on Force systems
• Use IDOL pattern matching to
cluster results in logical
groups

Single Point Of Entry
Interfacing Does
Not Stop With
Data Exporting
Version 11 framework allows
• Exhibits packages to securely
send data to HOLMES 2 and
store in exhibits index. This
reduces re-keying of
information saving time
• Documents can also be
securely imported
• Other systems can be catered
for to utilise the framework to
populate HOLMES 2
