MOTI: Mining Bibliographic Information on Emerging Technologies

DMI-9872482随着“信息经济”时代的到来，信息资源日益丰富。一个重大挑战是利用这些资源来加强技术管理(MOT)。创建了技术机会分析(TOA)来分析从电子出版物和专利数据库中检索到的文本信息。该项目将应用TOA来确定新的“信息产品”，让技术经理和专业人士了解特定新兴技术的当前和未来前景。如果成功，这将加强对外部技术信息的捕获，从而更好地进行知情的研究管理、竞争技术情报和战略规划。将开发具体的分析和表示技术信息的方法，然后进行比较。这些分析结合了文献计量学和自然语言处理来衡量创新的特定方面，产生了创新指标。五类用户将评估这些信息是否满足他们不同的技术管理需求，并在内容和呈现调查结果的方式方面提出改进建议。协作组织中用户的反馈将有助于细化这些创新指标的内容和形式。这一计划的结果应该会增强创新预测，让用户能够对目标领域的研发活动有一个看法，并使技术经理和学生能够充分利用新兴的电子信息形式。

DMI-9872482Porter The advent of the "Information Economy" is making ever-expanding information resources available. A significant challenge is to exploit these resources to enhance the management of technology (MOT). Technology Opportunities Analysis (TOA) has been created to analyze text information retrieved from electronic publication and patent databases. This project would apply TOA to identify new 'information products' that inform technology managers and professionals about particular emerging technologies' current and future prospects. If successful, this will enhance capture of external technology information resulting in better informed research management, competitive technical intelligence, and strategic planning. Specific analyses and ways to represent technology information will be developed, then compared. These analyses combine bibliometrics and natural language processing to measure particular facets of innovation, yielding innovation indicators. Five types of users will evaluate if this information fulfills their diverse technology management needs and suggest improvements in content and in ways to present findings. Feedback from users in collaborating organizations will help refine the content and form of these innovation indicators. The results of this program should enhance innovation forecasting, allow users to gain a perspective on R&D activities in a target domain and enable managers of technology, as well as students, to take full advantage of emerging electronic forms of information.
