Research and Markets: Research and Markets Releases New Semantic Healthcare Database
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:13032009
Dublin, Ireland- Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com) have announced the addition of a
new semantic healthcare database toits portfolio.
The Maven Semantic data tools have been used tocreate a database of
detailed profiles of life science companies and executives.
The current database holds over 5 million healthcare executives, and
500,000 healthcare organisations. It covers pharmaceutical, biotech and
medical device companies, clinical research labs, hospitals, medical
universities and government organisations.
The Maven Semantic tools use the open web as an underlying database and
extract specific information on people, job titles, biographies,
research profiles, contact details (dept., phone, fax, and email),
organisation profiles, websites, product/services and much more.
Research and Markets are utilising the database tosource new leads for
their existing portfolio of healthcare market research. From April
2009, the data will also be available tointernational healthcare
marketing teams.
Maven Semantic is based on healthcare crawlers/bots, search technology,
semantic parsers, clustering, natural language processing (NLP) and
artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
"The system uses the context in which a given person appears, using
artificial intelligence techniques tofind out information not otherwise
visible - for example, how important is this person in a specific
medical research specialization," says Alejandro Mesas, Semantic
Systems Architect. "The big advantage of a focused semantic healthcare
database over a generic search engine is that it has built-in
taxonomies and a thesaurus toexpand and refine the user queries. We
then use scoring and ranking tofine tune the relevance of the results
for a given therapeutic area. For example, stem cell researchers are
given a "page rank", based on where they work, their job title, how
many times they have published, where they have published, etc. The
relevance can be fine tuned by the user".
Maven is a SaaS subscription-based service. Clients can choose from
quarterly or yearly subscriptions, or as pay-as-you-go option to
retrieve specific large datasets for inhouse use.
Results can be viewed online, or exported toExcel or a clients CRM
system.
