Abstract

Methods and systems are described that detail the rapid validation of scientific products and scientist consumer information derived from multiple science/research based sources, such as peer-reviewed scientific publications and online resources, for example, as well as any other available tasked forum or venue. The refined information will facilitate unique product evaluation opportunities via an accessible website/forum, trade shows, etc., and provide previously unknowable sales leads, market intelligence, and targeted advertising opportunities for life science product manufacturers.

Claims

1. A method for mining distributed scientific data for enriched product or contact valuation, comprising:

obtaining at least one of product data and contact data from a plurality of independently segregated sources using an automatic searching tool;

associating the obtained data with keywords relevant to the at least one product and contact data using an automatic association tool;

applying a computerized semantic refinement algorithm to the associated data to obtain refined data; and

automatically parsing the refined data to an applicable product database and an applicable contact database, wherein the databases contain concise information regarding at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations,

wherein the concise information correlates at least one of product efficacy and product use with the obtained data for efficient valuation thereof.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the individually segregated sources is at least one of a subscription based source, product manufacturer, and web-based source.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing concise information feedback to at least one of a product manufacturer, public website, e-commerce site, community website, and trade show.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the individually segregated sources includes reviews by product manufacturers and scientists.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising developing marketing intelligence based on the concise information.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying the concise information in a format having at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the displaying includes displaying a web-based link to a manufacturer of a displayed product.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the displaying includes displaying a list of scientific validations of a product.

9. A system for mining distributed scientific data for enriched product or contact valuation, comprising:

means for obtaining at least one of product data and contact data from a plurality of independently segregated sources using an automatic searching tool;

means for associating the obtained data with keywords relevant to the at least one product and contact data using an automatic association tool;

means for applying a computerized semantic refinement algorithm to the associated data to obtain refined data; and

means for automatically parsing the refined data to an applicable product database and an applicable contact database, wherein the databases contain concise information regarding at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations,

wherein the concise information correlates at least one of product efficacy and product use with the obtained data for efficient valuation thereof.

10. The system of claim 9, further comprising means for providing concise information feedback to at least one of a product manufacturer, public website, e-commerce site, community website, and trade show.

11. The system of claim 9, further comprising means for developing marketing intelligence based on the concise information.

12. The system of claim 9, further comprising means for displaying the concise information in a format having at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations.

13. A system for mining distributed scientific data for enriched product and/or contact valuation, comprising:

a communication network;

a computerized device connected to the communication network, executing instructions for;

obtaining at least one of product data and contact data from a plurality of independently segregated sources on the communication network using an automatic searching tool;

associating the obtained data with keywords relevant to the at least one product and contact data using an automatic association tool;

applying a computerized semantic refinement algorithm to the associated data to obtain refined data; and

automatically parsing the refined data to an applicable product database and an applicable contact database, wherein the databases contain concise information regarding at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations,

wherein the concise information correlates at least one of product efficacy and product use with the obtained data for efficient valuation thereof.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein one of the individually segregated sources is at least one of a subscription based source, product manufacturer, and web-based source.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the computerized device further executes instructions for providing concise information feedback to at least one of a product manufacturer, public website, e-commerce site, community website, and trade show.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the individually segregated sources includes reviews by product manufacturers and scientists.

17. The system of claim 13, wherein the computerized device further executes instructions for developing marketing intelligence based on the concise information.

18. The system of claim 13, further comprising a display, wherein the computerized device executes instructions for displaying the concise information on the display in a format having at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the computerized device executes instructions for displaying at least a web-based link to a manufacturer of a displayed product and a list of scientific validations of a product.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

programming code for obtaining at least one of product data and contact data from a plurality of independently segregated sources using an automatic searching tool;

programming code for associating the obtained data with keywords relevant to the at least one product and contact data using an automatic association tool;

programming code for applying a computerized semantic refinement algorithm to the associated data to obtain refined data; and

programming code for automatically parsing the refined data to an applicable product database and an applicable contact database, wherein the databases contain concise information regarding at least one of a product summary, product review, top citing publications for the product, web mentions, topic summary, related topics, other products in a family, related products, competing products, names of top experts using the product, current market share, market share trends, and Science 2.0 citations,
