Information for KARNAC is generally to be derived from structured, semi-structured and unstructured databases[[database]]s. This would include information derived from e.g.[[Overview of gun laws by nation|gun registrations]], [[driver's licenceslicense]]s, residential and [[criminal recordsrecord]]s, as well as the [[Internet]], newspapers[[newspaper]]s and county records. For example, the system might raise an alert if someone attempted to buy components for [[bomb]] making, [[Car rental|hired a car]] and [[Renting|rented a hotel room]] near the [[White House]].
