We discuss cognitive topics related to an Intelligence Analyst's Geospatial and Ontological Assistant (IAGOA) under development that associates an analyst's understanding of an agent's activities with the geospatial features of the area where they take place. IAGOA uses linguistic resources from the lexical database FrameNet, based on Fillmore's frame semantics (not related to Minsky's frames), and it provides clear explications of the central notions of situation awareness that are particularly appropriate when the focus is on the activities of a single agent.
