Tech Mining makes exploitation of text databases meaningful tothose who can gain from derived knowledge about emergingtechnologies. It begins with the premise that we have theinformation, the tools to exploit it, and the need for theresulting knowledge.
The information provided puts new capabilities at the hands oftechnology managers. Using the material present, these managers canidentify and access the most valuable technology informationresources (publications, patents, etc.); search, retrieve, andclean the information on topics of interest; and lower the costsand enhance the benefits of competitive technological intelligenceoperations.
