  • Using Semantic Web Technologies for Technology Intelligence Services

    The change in technological environment presents threats as well as opportunities to companies in the related fields. Existing Technology Intelligence procedures require complicated techniques and high-skilled labor results. Large expert-interviews and manual work is also needed, so single small companies can not undertake this alone. To spread and activate Technology Intelligence in research and industrial…

  • Evaluating Olympic Technology Development: Use of Literature Analysis Based on Science Citation Index

    As one of the three concepts which Beijing Olympics executed, “Hi-tech Olympics” policy provided satisfactory technical support and security guarantee for the Olympic Games from beginning to end. To provide support to assess the science and technology development of the 29th Olympic Games and other national key projects, this paper analyzes keywords, disciplines and states…

  • Technological foresight—the use of biotechnology in the development of new drugs against breast cancer

    The aim of the study is to demonstrate knowledge and information management as a mechanism for developing technological foresight regarding the use of biotechnology in drugs for breast cancer. The methodology applies competitive intelligence (CI) tools to identify international trends concerning drugs for treatment and/or diagnosis, and to identify leading institutions.

  • Is there a shift to “active nanostructures”?

    It has been suggested that an important transition in the long-run trajectory of nanotechnology development is a shift from passive to active nanostructures. Such a shift could present different or increased societal impacts and require new approaches for risk assessment. An active nanostructure ‘‘changes or evolves its state during its operation,’’ according to the National…

  • Literature-related discovery (LRD): Potential treatments for Multiple Sclerosis

    Literature-related discovery (LRD) is the linking of two or more literature concepts that have heretofore not been linked (i.e., disjoint), in order to produce novel, interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge (i.e., potential discovery). The open discovery systems (ODS) component of LRD starts with a problem to be solved, and generates solutions to that problem through…
