==PROMIS==

The integration of human, communications, and electronic intelligence (HUMINT, COMINT, and ELINT) in FinCEN-type environments required the construction of a common [[data base]] standard so that information could easily be transferred between different agencies and different applications. The standard that was decided on was originally implemented at the [[US Justice Department]] (DOJ) in a [[software]] system for [[federal]] [[prosecutor]]s to keep track of the vast amounts of data involved in a legal case. This was the PROMIS system partly developed and enhanced through a contract between the DOJ and a Washington D.C. based firm called [[Inslaw]].

This data standard, embodied in the PROMIS software, was implemented atthe DOJ, the [[NSA]], the [[CIA]], and the [[NSC]]. PROMIS was also sold to the [[Federal Emergency Management Agency]] (FEMA) to keep track of individuals (in a data base called MAINCORE) who were to be rounded up and incarcerated in the event of certain types of "national emergencies". It is also at the heart of FinCEN's data collation efforts.<ref>https://ia800203.us.archive.org/7/items/VinceFoster-NSA-Banking-Transactions-Spying/Allegations%20Regarding%20Vince%20Foster%2C%20the%20NSA%2C%20and%20Banking%20Transactions%20Spying/11%20Money%20laundering%20and%20the%20intelligence%20community.txt Money Laundering in the Intelligence Community] by Orlin Grabbe </ref>
