via Text Mining

9. “Tech Mining extracts useful intelligence
from electronic text sources.”
“Here’s a 10-step approach to Tech Mining.
1. Spell out the focal intelligence questions and decide how to answer them
2. Get suitable data
3. Search (iterate) & retrieve ~abstract records
4. Import into text mining software [e.g., Thomson Data Analyzer (TDA), VantagePoint]
5. Clean and consolidate the data - Clumping
6. Analyze
7. Visualize
8. Integrate with internet analyses and expert opinion
9. Interpret and summarize findings; communicate those (possibly multiple ways)
10. Standardize and semi-automate where possible”
