This report documents the progress achieved by the Declassification Productivity Research Center (DPRC) during the third quarter of its third year of operations. The DPRC was established at The George Washington University (GWU) as an independent world-class research capability and computer facility to support the DOE Declassification Productivity Initiative (DPI). The original intent of DOE was to provide seed funding for the DPRC, which might be supplemented by other interested agencies as opportunities for research were identified and projects funded. The goal of DPI is to increase the flow of unrestricted government information to the public. To this end, the work at GWU involves both basic and applied research in the areas of (1) system-level declassification process analysis and modeling, (2) development of computer systems to automate declassification processes, including text analysis and interpretation, (3) coordination/integration of new technology into the processes, and (4) development and promulgation of inter-operability and document transfer standards
