    Cyber-investigation Analysis Standard Expression (CASE) is a community-developed evolving standard that provides a structured (ontology-based) specification for representing information commonly analyzed and exchanged by people and systems during investigations involving digital evidence. The power of CASE is that it provides a common language to support automated normalization, combination and validation of varied information sources to facilitate analysis and exploration of investigative questions (who, when, how long, where). In addition to representing tool results, CASE ensures that analysis results can be traced back to their source(s), keeping track of when, where and who used which tools to perform investigative actions on data sources.

    Keith serves as the Adoption Committee Chair for the CASE Community. He is a member of the Technical Steering Committee for the project that oversees the CASE Ontology, the Cyber Domain Ontology project.
