Adopters

Project VIC International

Project VIC International is actively building tools on CAC Ontology and CASE/UCO:

• Autopsy ICAC Workflow — A re-imagined version of Autopsy with a purpose-built ICAC workflow, currently in development through 2026.
• Child Abduction Investigation Manager — A prototype investigation management tool built on CAC Ontology for coordinating child abduction cases.

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.
