OrbWeaver, an automatic knowledge extraction system paired with a human interface, streamlines the use of unintuitive natural language processing software for modeling systems from their documentation. OrbWeaver enables the indirect transfer of knowledge about legacy systems by leveraging open source tools in document understanding and processing as well as using web based user interface constructs. By design, OrbWeaver is scalable, extensible, and usable; we demonstrate its utility by evaluating its performance in processing a corpus of documents related to advanced persistent threats in the cyber domain. The results indicate better knowledge extraction by revealing hidden relationships, linking co-related entities, and gathering evidence.
