Multi-dimensional metadata in research recordkeeping
First Claim
1. A system for recording and management of data comprising:
- a plurality of raw data objects, wherein the raw data objects are received and stored;
a computer for processing the raw data objects;
a plurality of processed data objects, wherein one or more dimensions are applied to the raw data objects to form the processed data objects, and wherein the dimensions represent information about the raw data object;
the processed data objects each comprising;
a hashing providing abbreviated indexing for providing an ease of look up and comparison;
an encryption providing security and integrity of the processed data objects;
a time stamp; and
an electronic signature wherein the time stamp and electronic signature together provide for a validation and a proper evidentiary support in a graphical user interface/framework including options for recording and management of data, the options comprising;
a. a continuum;
b. a discrete model;
c. a strict hierarchy;
d. a soft hierarchy;
e. a hashing; and
f. a groupingand one or more metadata organizing models wherein the metadata organizing models together with the dimensions maximize a utility of the data at a later time providing a contextual space to the data object.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating data organization, for example in the organization of data in management of intellectual property records, is disclosed herein. Further, the present invention particularly provides a contextualization of information objects so that a full value of research and development (R&D) efforts can be accumulated by an organization. The system as disclosed herein collects information (raw) objects from a plurality of sources. Then, based on inferred context and user input, the system classifies each object in multiple dimensions according to needs of the application; and finally creates a high value, layer rich database embodying a context as well as a result to add value to a research process.

10. A system for managing intellectual property created in a research and development laboratory, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of raw data objects, the plurality of raw data objects having one or more dimensions associated therewith; a database to store the raw data objects; and a computer in electronic communication with the database, wherein the one or more dimensions comprising; a time of an observation; a time consumed in an experiment; a lab notebook page; a research program indicating a funding source, wherein the database further makes a record for creation and development of intellectual property; and an electronic signature wherein the time stamp and electronic signature together provide for a validation and a proper evidentiary support in a graphical user interface/framework including options for recording and management of data, the options comprising; a. a continuum; b. a discrete model; c. a strict hierarchy; d. a soft hierarchy; e. a hashing; and f. a grouping and one or more metadata organizing models wherein the metadata organizing models together with the dimensions maximize a utility of the data at a later time providing a contextual space to the data object. - View Dependent Claims (11)
