The '''Open Source Information System''' (OSIS) is the former name of an American [[unclassified]] [[computer network|network]] serving the [[United States Intelligence Community|U.S. intelligence community]] with [[open source intelligence]].

Since mid-2006, the content of OSIS is now known as [[Intelink|Intelink-U]] while the network portion is known as [[DNI-U]].<ref>[http://www.fas.org/irp/program/disseminate/osis.htm Federation of American Scientists on OSIS]</ref><ref>[http://www.fas.org/irp/program/disseminate/intelink.htm Federation of American Scientists on Intelink]</ref>

==Contents==
OSIS contents include:
*CIRC (Central Information Reference and Control)
*A [[database]] of over 10 million titles on scientific and technical topics, including [[patents]], [[standardization|standards]], [[military equipment]] and [[systems]].
*''Conference Database'' of upcoming [[Academic conference|symposia]], congresses, and conventions in the areas of [[science]], [[technology]], [[engineering]], [[politics]], and [[economics]].
*[[DTED]] (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) map collection [from The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency ([[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency|NGA]]), formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Association (NIMA)] provides global coverage.
*[[Open Source Center|OSC]] (Open Source Center, formerly [[Foreign Broadcast Information Service|FBIS]], Foreign Broadcast Information Service) products include the Daily Reports, Science & Technology Perspectives, Trends, and [[Pacific Rim Economic Review]].
*IC ROSE database service provides searchable text articles from hundreds of periodicals on a wide range of subjects.
*TCOM (Telecommunications) contains abstracts and complete articles on [[telecommunications]] related topics.
*TEL (Technical Equipment List) indexes over 100,000 brochures and manuals on telecommunications and related equipment.

Additional commercial datasources, such as [[Oxford Analytica]], as well as unclassified library holdings of several OSIS member agencies, including [[Defense Intelligence Agency|DIA]], reside on OSIS.
OSIS also offers specialized software and other tools to assist users in analysis and graphical interpretations of data.

==Real time translation==
OSIS makes available the [[National Air Intelligence Center]]'s (NAIC) [[SYSTRAN]] [[machine translation]] (MT) capability to provide "real time" rough translations of foreign language information. This was the first MT system to be integrated with the Web; implemented by the MITRE Corporation in the early 1990s.<ref>[https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=716700 Tools for the knowledge analyst: an information superiority visionary demonstration], Computer Software and Applications Conference, 1998</ref>

OSIS users access the [[World Wide Web]] and employ the full range of Internet protocols to collect information and conduct business with [[U.S. Government]], academic and industrial organizations. OSIS users are seen by non-U.S. Government [[Internet]] clients as "osis.gov".

A firewall prevents non-OSIS Internet users from accessing the OSIS.
