Part 1 of Patinformatics Article Appears in SCIPOnline
Abstract
A version of the Patinformatics: Identifying Haystacks from Space article that I wrote and published previously has been re-worked for the competitive intelligence community and Part 1 (there will be three parts when finished) has been published in the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professional's (SCIP) online journal, SCIPOnline.

"Patinformatics: Patent Analysis for Fun and Profit" Workshop Conducted to Kick-Off 2003 Patent Information Users Group Annual Meeting
Abstract
On May 3rd, 2003 the inaugural journey of my full-day workshop on patent analysis philosophy, personal experience and tools based case studies was conducted with an audience of 45 people to start the 2003 PIUG Annual Meeting. With the exception of a few technical difficulties the event went off smoothly and the initial feedback has been quite positive.

ACS Meeting Talk on Comparing Source Titles and Abstacts to Enhanced Titles and Abstracts
Original
Abstract:
In recent years text-mining software has been developed that allows analysts to organize and visualize large collections of documents without having to read and manually place each individual document. In particular, ThemeScape from Aurigin Systems allows large collections of documents to be clustered based on co-occurance of subject topics or themes. Once similar documents are group based on shared content they are visualized using a topographical map representation. These maps allow for relative document density to be measured based on the height of the content peaks and they allow for secondary relationships to be identified within a set by observing the relative distance between document clusters that are spatially close together.
In previous work, a map created from original patent titles and abstracts was compared to a map created using intellectually assigned, hierarchical classification. These maps were similar to one another but it appeared that the original title and abstract was a better analysis source for clustering documents by their function or use.
The current study will continue to explore this area by comparing a map created from the original titles and abstracts to the identical collection of chemical patent documents using enhanced titles and abstracts produced by Chemical Abstracts Service and Derwent Information. The discussion will revolve around differences and similarities in each approach and will attempt to provide information on which source provides the most valuable insight under different circumstances.

Color Coding System for Simplifying IFI Chemical Fragmentation Code Searching Talk from 218th ACS Meeting
Original
Abstract:
The IFI comprehensive file is one of the few electronic sources that allow for a form of chemical structure searching back to the 1950's. This chemical structure searching takes the form of a chemical fragmentation system which allows for the searching of generic or prophetic chemical substances within granted US patents.
While powerful, the system is perhaps underutilized since chemical fragmentation coding systems are difficult to use and learn. This presentation will focus on a method for creating IFI fragmentation code queries that takes advantage of the IFIREF file and a color coding scheme which makes generation of these strategies easier to keep track of.

New Technologies Supporting Technical Intelligence Talk from 221st ACS Meeting
Original
Abstract:
Traditionally, Technical Intelligence has centered around the use of a network of technical experts within and outside of an organization. The members of these networks were often referred to as Gatekeepers and they would be responsible for monitoring new advances in an area where they had technical expertise and were responsible for making sure that this information was utilized and shared within their respective organizations.
Today, with the advent of more powerful, smaller computers and new software applications that utilize linguistic algorithms and advanced artificial intelligence routines, the work of a Gatekeeper network can be significantly enhanced by taking advantage of new software tools for Technical Intelligence.
This presentation will concentrate on new technologies that make it possible for thousands of open source or confidential internal documents to be analyzed and trends from these items visualized in a fraction of the time previously needed for this type of exercise.
