Stovepiping
Stovepiping (also stove piping) is a metaphorical term which recalls a stovepipe's function as an isolated vertical conduit, and has been used, in the context of intelligence, to describe several ways in which raw intelligence information may be presented without proper context. It is a system created to solve a specific problem. The lack of context may be due to the specialized nature, or security requirements, of a particular intelligence collection technology. It also has limited focus and data within is not easily shared. Alternatively, the lack of context may come from a particular group, in the national policy structure, selectively presenting only that information that supports certain conclusions. The term is typically used in the health care system. An example would be how money funded for research is not evenly allocated, but instead goes toward one specific ailment remedy.

stovepiping
Stovepiping, in an information management context, refers to the practice of passing or channeling information up and down within a hierarchy or organization without sharing it across different levels or departments. This can lead to isolated 'silos' of information, lack of communication and inefficiency in the organization. The term originated from the visual similarity between the organizational behavior and the structure of a stove pipe, which goes straight up and down without branching out. In a different context (espionage or intelligence), stovepiping refers to the process of exporting raw intelligence data directly to high-ranking officials or decision-makers without proper analysis or vetting, potentially leading to decisions based on inaccurate or unverified information.
