Situation

Fusepool integrates and interlinks internal and external data for specific application areas so that data can be pooled and analyzed to support decision making.

Course of action

Data is an integral element of the business value chain. But barriers impede leveraging the full potential across existing data silos. Fusepool SME integrates patents, publications and other data to support product development and research and thus to preserve the intellectual property of SMEs.

Result

- A flexible tool stack supporting the linked data life-cycle - A web based semantic search engine “patent explorer” supporting questions such as: “What is patented in my product area?” - The search engine supports autocomplete search, faceted and graph browsing, highlighting relevance of search results through classifiers, landscape view for visualization of large result sets, reweighing search results based on user feedback, and predicted and user-customized Labels
