Contractors-Grantees Meeting IX

The NamesforLife Contextual Index was examined using routine approaches for exploratory data analysis and visualization (e.g., principal components analysis, robust clustering, 2D scatter plots, 3D spin plots and heatmaps). Each of these methods revealed strong evidence of terminological fingerprints in the patents. The heatmap on the left reveals the relationship among the Green Technology patents when classified using terminological fingerprints.

Charles Parker and George Garrity will be presenting poster 117 (“Semantic Indexing of the Green Technology Patent Literature”, Abstracts Book, page 90) during the Tuesday evening mixer (5:30pm-8:00pm) on the Independence Level (Independence Center B). We will be highlighting our team’s recent research on semiotic document classification.

As DOE research on biofuels, bioremediation and carbon sequestration moves from the laboratory into production or commercial environments, a number of important policy and business decisions must be made that demand correct information.

An awareness of developments in the field requires a thorough review of both bodies of literature. NamesforLife is building tools to simplify such searches, using its proven approach to indexing through the creation of persistent links to externally managed terminologies that common to both bodies of literature. This approach integrates well with existing commercial, academic and USPTO data mining capabilities.
