Data Type	Textual data
Series	DOTS: DOTS textual data consists of 19 data files. The DOTS (Data on Terrorist Suspects) is a compendium of biographies of leaders, perpetrators, financiers, defendants, detainees, persons of interest, conspirators, and others, including aliases and kunyas, receiving mention in any of the international incidents appearing in ITERATE and other sources.
Software	MS Word
Data Source	It employs inter alia an exhaustive search of major media, research, news and information services.
Origin of Historical Sources	The media sources includes AP, UPI, Reuter, CNN , MSNBC , AFP, The Washington Post, New York Times, LA Times, Time, Newsweek, and al Jazeera. The chronology also incorporates information obtained from interviews with government officials, scholars, and former hostages/others involved in international terrorist incidents. Additional sources include relevant manuscripts and scholarly publications dealing with the subject. Finally, the chronology uses many official government chronologies, including those published by the NCTC, FBI, CIA, US Department of State, and FAA. All of these sources have been consistently used since the inception of the data base.
