Abstract: Addressing cybercrime issues in a research perspective usually results in a handful of common goals and approaches of how to mitigate cybercrime in the end. To that end, various class of actors in law enforcement, public sectors, and academics work together by making use of cybercrime related information. However, unlike established goals and approaches, the information resources are far from meaningful organization for efficient access or straightforward standardization for immediate processing by computer and / or human agents. In order to minimize the stated problems, this research describes a framework of information architecture that can offer efficient and effective access to information resources in relation to cybercrime. Using topic maps approach, the framework demonstrates methods to organize large and heterogeneous sets of information resources and build a structured semantic link network over the resources. Using the information architecture, information systems can be designed which should enable the actors to utilize information resources for their tasks and immanent goals, hence serve for the common theme of cybercrime mitigation in the end.
