Adopters

Project VIC International

Project VIC International is actively building its Technology Ecosystem on CAC Ontology and CASE/UCO as an open semantic foundation:

• VICTrace — Project VIC International’s homegrown digital forensics tool built on CAC Ontology and CASE/UCO. VICTrace is in development through 2026 as part of the Technology Ecosystem.
• Child Abduction Investigation Manager — A prototype investigation management tool built on CAC Ontology for coordinating child abduction cases.
• CASE/UCO SDK — A multi-language SDK (Python, C#, Java, Rust) with an MCP server, modeling recipes, and CAC/SOLVE-IT bindings that helps teams model investigation data into validated graphs quickly.

We plan to begin holding public training sessions to teach colleagues in collaborating organizations how to build on CAC Ontology in their own tools and workflows.
