Requirements-Based Knowledge Discovery for Technology Management

Abstract

Exploiting information resources, particularly diverse research & development databases, presents opportunities to enhance technology management. Many such databases [e.g., Science Citation Index, Business Index] offer useful index fields to help you access documents. However, these indexes sometimes fail to address your requirements effectively. We present an approach that allows you to extract and categorize desired information from particular datasets that lack effective indexing for your purposes. We illustrate for a U.S. Patents dataset on lightweight automotive materials.
