Everyone should read this, if you're interested in this story at all. Great succint capture of the currently known info:

Knowledge is power. The NSA haven't been to careful with their information. With 15000 documents classified documents out there I am sure that eventually my "unknowns" for the programs below will be known. I hope someone at the NSA chokes on their coffee when they read what we know and what we will still know. I am sorry the list is so long, the NSA have been busy. If you know what any of the unknowns are do let us all know.

Dial Number Recognition (DNR)
Digital Network Intelligence (DNI)
Geospatial Metadata Analysis (GMA)
SIGINT Geospatial Analysis (SGA)
SIGINT Terminal Guidance (STG)
Each SIGAD is basically a collection site, physical or virtual; the SIGAD alphanumerics are used to indicate the source of intelligence FOR a particular report.

The NSA listening post at Osan in Korea has the SIGAD USA-31.
Clark Air Force Base is USA-57.
US-987LA is with Bad Aibling Germany
US-987LB are telecommunications surveillance in Afghanistan

XKEYSCORE processes most of the SIGINT traffic that comes into the NSA by way of various SIGADs, and compartmentalizes it by selector. A selector might be "RUSFOR," which would stand for Russian foreign ministry intercepts.

PRISM is US-984XN analyze information collected and deposited in a database - 117,675 active surveillance targets in PRISM's counterterrorism database

Analysts working on a problem can request that a particular collection site be tasked, or used. The form they fill out is known as an SP0200. Additionally, when they wish to discontinue using a SIGAD for a mission, they send in another SP0200.

TURBULANCE - Consists of nine sub programs including Traffic Thief, Turmoil and Tutelage. Other subprograms unknown.

TRAFFIC THIEF - a database of "Meta-data from a subset of tasked strong-selectors" An example of a strong selector is an email address. In other words, it would be a database of the metadata associated with names, phone numbers, email addresses, that the intelligence services are specifically targeting
