Knowledge Mining. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 124
Knowledge Mining draws upon many of the key concepts
of knowledge management, data mining and knowledge
discovery, meta-analysis and data visualization.
Within the context of scientific research, knowledge
mining is principally concerned with the
quantitative synthesis and visualization of research
results and findings.
The results of knowledge mining are increased
scientific understanding along with improvements in
research quality and value. Knowledge mining
products can be used to highlight research
opportunities, assist with the presentation
of 'best' scientific evidence, facilitate research
portfolio management, as well as, facilitate policy
setting and decision making.
Specifically discussed will be the application of
knowledge mining within the area of pharmaceutical
drug development and commercialization (e.g., the
visualization and synthesis of clinical research
findings surrounding a class of drugs and their
effectiveness in treating specific patient
subgroups). This ground breaking work should be of
special interest to life science professionals
working in the areas of knowledge management, data
mining, and
visualization.
