The Current

Development Fisheries Management

Description of the initiative

Don't let your harvested data get stuck in still water. Navigate new data streams with AI automation, augmentation and information enablement. The Current is a cloud-hosted platform that enables users anywhere in the department to ingest large volumes of structured and unstructured documents, extract data using optical character recognition and large language models, validate and review results through human-in-the-loop workflows, and relate extracted information using shared concepts and standards. The architecture emphasizes asynchronous processing, modular extraction services, strong traceability, and governance-ready design. The platform supports configurable extraction tasks, versioned models and definitions, auditable review processes, and future discovery of related research outputs and datasets across heterogeneous sources. As the initial use-case, the Text Intelligence and Data Extraction (TIDE) Service has been developed for the Salmon Habitat Restoration (SHARE) System. TIDE is a baseline iteration of The Current that fulfills the minimum viable product requirements of SHARE. TIDE focuses on digitizing, extracting, and modeling data from large unstructured text documents. TIDE establishes the baseline architecture and demonstrates a scalable workflow in Production.
