STTR Phase II: Integrating Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Ontologies to Discover Inconsistencies in Expectations for Supply and Demand

这个STTR阶段II项目的目标是产生一个软件应用程序，该软件应用程序可以极大地提高管理人员将资源分配给生产性用途的能力。随着在线分析处理（OLAP）和本体技术的进步，该工具有可能为业务分析团队发现未来的供需不平衡。目标是在研究期结束时每天至少产生一个可投资的不一致性。第一阶段项目产生了意想不到的创新，这些创新可能在OLAP领域和本体领域都有广泛的用途，并且通过这些创新，软件平台显示了在支持投资决策的市场研究领域转变基本分析实践的希望。第二阶段的项目，如果成功的话，将产生一种技术，将这一承诺扩展到更广泛的受众，教育用户进行投资分析的最佳实践，并使他们能够从根本上改善他们的资源分配。

This STTR Phase II project aims to produce a software application that dramatically improves a manager's ability to allocate resources to productive uses. With advances in Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and ontology technology, the tool has the potential to enable the discovery of future supply and demand imbalances for teams of business analysts. The objective is to produce at least one Investable Inconsistency per day by the end of the research period. The Phase I project produced unanticipated innovations that may have broad utility in both the OLAP field and the ontology field, and with these innovations, the software platform shows promise for transforming the essential practice of analysis in the field of market research in support of investment decisions. The Phase II project, if successful will result in technology that extends this promise to a broad audience, educating users in best practices for investment analysis and enabling them to materially improve their allocation of resources.
