For Germany, he was even able to show in time series models that the dynamics in patent applications is reflected in the output of standardisation documents 21.
At the level of Frontiers the tool has been taken up in official documents as MPM-1 was included in the first round strategic planning document known as the Frontiers Roadmap for 2006/2007.
while other documents only discuss a single vision, i e. do not consider alternative futures; a striking example of that approach is the recent EU Green Paper on the European research area 3. Georghiou
in July 2005 the European commission published a draft document on Cohesion Policy in Support of Growth and Jobs:

and the use and conversion of XML documents with standard web pages (HTML). These technology linkages are associated with a 70%likelihood.
Judgment heuristics is a field that documents some of these irrationalities. One or two examples from Ref. 5 will suffice to make the point:
Notwithstanding the fact that many strategic policy documents extend their validity beyond legislative cycles (take the case of national sustainable development strategies for example) a short-term,
in order to find their way into the final panel and strategy documents. In other words implicit agendas and objectives had to be made more explicit to provide the basis for the joint definition of future challenges, fields of action and kickoff projects;
A key role in this negotiation process was played obviously by the panel chairs (in accepting suggested initiatives on new draft panel documents) and by the vice-mayor's office (in accepting proposals on draft versions of the final
strategy document. The inter-panel meetings were crucial in this respect, because on the one hand participants felt obliged to achieve a consensus on initiatives to be suggested for the RTI-strategy,

it has acquired an official status. The official and political character of the document also has its downsides,
for instance by the reference made to the strategy documents in new initiatives. However, it is too early to say
such as the need to avoid politically contentious proposals in the strategy document. In the end, the strategy document becomes official policy.
and retrieve electronic documents. This counters the current arrangements in many organizations. Often, an information services unit handles all data requests.
S) he eventually provided the requester with a very few documents to read. Such an arrangement fails at QTIP.
Note that this is way too many documents to sensibly read and digest! So we turn to software tools to help bprofile the R&d domainq 5,
The resulting proposals were collated into a compilation document which was made available to the panellists. Using the 1-to-7 Likert scale
In each panel, this prior consultation process resulted in a collated document that contained some 30 50 driving forces as well as numerical assessments and written comments on them.
This compilation document was circulated to the panellists about three days before the workshop. Downloaded by University of Bucharest at 05:11 03 december 2014 Axes of balance in foresight 993 In the first panel meetings
In most panels, the discussions were captured by building Mindmap charts that provided, together with the compilation document,
the compilation documents were useful to the panel chairmen, because they could start the development of the panel reports from an extensive set of documentation,
The documents also mitigated the risk that two chairmen would have exercised an unduly strong influence on the report contents.
considering that references to Finnsight reports have been made in documents published in Japan, South korea and Canada and by the European commission. 8 One of the objectives of Finnsight was that it should encourage other actors of the R&i system to initiate foresight activities.
For example, the compilation of documents from the internet-based questionnaires showed the full distributions of the panellists'assessment ratings
While this did lead to some divergence between panels (for instance in the use of compilation documents from the internet-based questionnaires),
It also alleviated the burden of the panel chairmen who could make use of compilation documents effectively

and descriptive text for each record to generate a document document similarity matrix.!A graph layout program, Vxord 4, was used to calculate the document graph.!
The resulting graph or map was explored using Vxinsight 5, a visualization tool that enables interactive navigation and query of an abstract information space.
Technology and organization terms were linked together on a document basis and visualized in a network or link analysis map.
Traditional LSA uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique to deconstruct a term document matrix {X} into the product of three other matrices
To calculate the document document similarity matrix, matrices {W} and {S} are multiplied. The resulting vectors are normalized then to unit length,
These inner products are the document document similarity values. Our LSA methodology differs slightly from that above in that we use semidiscrete decomposition 6, 7 rather than SVD to do the term matrix deconstruction.

The ordination places similar documents close to each other on the graph. 3. 4. Visualization using Vxinsight After calculating coordinates,
such as a large document set. It uses a landscape metaphor and portrays the structure of the space as peaks and ridges of documents.
The size of a peak and its relative position in the layout provide valuable clues to the role of that group of documents in the overall structure.
Labels on dominant peaks are based on the two most common words in the titles (or other fields) that comprise that peak,
Relationships among the individual data records may be displayed as arrows between documents and understood at many levels of detail.
The calculated positions of the documents have been dithered slightly for this view to allow more data points to be viewed.

and some strategic documents (Geologic Strategy, Water Strategy) were prepared on the basis of the output of the study.
Patent documents have long been regarded as a useful source for technology management because they include technical and application/commercial information.
Also, patent documents are used widely as a source for technology forecasting, CTI and for analysis of technology convergence (Kayal, 1999;
Based on the IPC code given to each patent document, statistics regarding the code or advanced analysis can be done easily to compare development or the trajectory among different technology domains.

We used an independent evaluation that was conducted in 2010 by the University of Twente 21, based on interviews with 21 politicians and civil servants and a document analysis. Furthermore,
At the local level, a document analysis was combined with interviews with policymakers. The document analysis focused on documents regarding the scenarios and related strategic policy documents.
The insights from this analysis were juxtaposed with the insights from the interviews. Because we were aware of the potential bias of in depth interviews (for example
