Knowledge portal for accessing, analyzing and standardizing data
First Claim
1. :
- A method of searching databases, comprising the steps of;
accessing one or more databases each having historical incident data classified into categories or fields;
standardizing at least one of the categories of the historical incident data in the one or more databases by correlating incident data to a predetermined format; and
providing one or more outputs associated with the predetermined format for analysis.

Abstract
A method and system is provided to access one or more historical incident databases, for example, CDC, CPSC, DTI, AAPCC and the like, for standardizing the potentially differing categories and coding among the databases. The standardizing includes recoding of the categories by providing a unified set of categories reflective of similar categories found among the one or more databases, if any. Submission of search queries allows users to obtain unified data across the databases so that incident history statistics for one or more products tracked by commonly available databases may be easily acquired. The resulting reports and statistics may be used by various entities to understand historical incidents from multiple perspectives including, for example, injury and fatality statistics as a function of age group, type of injury, time periods, diagnosis, injury outcome, severity, and the like. Data may be presented in standardized formats or in any of the native database formats.

27. :
- A method for searching databases, the method comprising;
accessing historical incident data from a plurality of databases having different coding representing categories;
recoding the different coding to provide a standardized coding of the historical incident data; and
outputting unified historical incident data from the plurality of databases using the standardized coding to create standardized categories. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. :
- A method for standardizing data, comprising the steps of;
recognizing one or more categories in one or more databases, each of the one or more databases having historical incident data;
associating the one or more categories based on one or more related characteristics to a predetermined category format; and
querying the historical incident data using the pre-determined category format to obtain statistical information for outputting. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40)
