Come hear the tales of
Thunken, a small R&D team with a fetish for PIDs.
Our projects focus on linking disparate documents (publications, patents, clinical trials, drug approvals, financial reports, etc.) across multiple sources to track innovations from early publications and patents to market data and financial statements. The natural separation of concerns between different stakeholders (e.g. the USPTO, the NIH, the FDA, the SEC, and the IRS in the US) has generated silos that are hard to break down and standardize.
We will present our methodology and explain how a failed project on automated patent valuation led us to create a new solution for unrefined altmetrics data, currently powered by data released by Wikimedia, StackExchange, and other sources.
