Medstar • Understanding the neighborhood of an organization or individual in a collaborative network allows one to identify several characteristics such as: • Intensity of internal/external collaborative activity • Clusters of actively collaborating organization/individuals • Possible conflict of interest relationships • Finding potential point of contacts (“middle man”) to expedite collaborations
People search (example, I2R A*Star) • Given a researcher’s name, we mine from our publication data and provide the following information to describe the researcher’s profile. • Research Areas based on MeSH Terms • Researcher Associated Organizations • Researcher Publication Listing
Expertise profilingResearch areas, associated organizations and publications MeSH terms Organization Publication
Organization search • We mine the following information to profile an organization: • Organization Research Areas based on Mesh Terms • Related Organizations • Organization Publication Listing • This search allows for understanding the working style of an organization based on the co-authorships of their staffs.
