This document describes a proposed knowledge framework for facilitating collaboration and integrating capabilities for planetary defense. The framework includes a hybrid cloud architecture to capture mitigation analyses, model outputs, and decision support. It also includes a cyberinfrastructure for knowledge discovery from various data sources using techniques like named entity recognition, relation extraction, and semantic reasoning. The framework is intended to provide easy access to expertise and information to achieve options for mitigating potential asteroid or comet impacts. Current research is focused on developing domain-specific web crawling and knowledge extraction from plain text documents.
