A system that uses verb frames for situation awareness of an agent´s activities

We discuss cognitive topics related to an Intelligence Analyst´s Geospatial and Ontological Assistant (IAGOA) under development that associates an analyst´s understanding of an agent´s activities with the geospatial features of the area where they take place. IAGOA uses linguistic resources from the lexical database FrameNet, based on Fillmore´s frame semantics (not related to Minsky´s frames), and it provides clear explications of the central notions of situation awareness that are particularly appropriate when the focus is on the activities of a single agent.
