Aristotle - A Social Networking Solution Designed and Built for the Air Force Research Laboratory

Abstract

Aristotle is a social networking solution designed and built for the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Aristotle is a Web 2.0 based application utilizing PeoplePoint Systems' developed user interface (UI) and optimized graph data model technology. Aristotle started as a science & technology (S&T) project, exploring ways to enhance AFRL's situational awareness. The specific AFRL design goal was to make it easy for people to identify, connect, and collaborate with AFRL people and provide intuitive access to comprehensive data about AFRL projects.
