A Unified Knowledge Graph to Permit Interoperability of Heterogeneous Digital Evidence

arXiv:2402.13746v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The modern digital world is highly heterogeneous, encompassing a wide variety of communications, devices, and services. This interconnectedness generates, synchronises, stores, and presents digital information in multidimensional, complex formats, often fragmented across multiple sources. When linked to misuse, this digital information becomes vital digital evidence. Integrating and harmonising these diverse formats into a unified system is crucial for comprehensively understanding evidence and its relationships. However, existing approaches to date have faced challenges limiting investigators' ability …
