CITIC (Andalusia Center of Innovation and Information Technology and Communications) has addressed the design, development and implementation of an automatic tool for consulting on data bases and sources of public information.
The Technology Center has developed software with the ability to conduct automated searches on public data sources to be defined previously in the tool. Users also have the ability to save search parameters defined for a periodic analysis of data and manage both search and the results obtained by filtering and collaboration options.
Access to the platform, called Fast Patent, is via a Web interface by user ID and password. Once identified, the user can view and manage their work; these are the main units of inquiry. Within each job can include one or more queries to different databases.
Job creation can be accomplished by a quick form, creating a single query for work, or through an advanced form, through which you can assign multiple queries to the same work, and where they should specify parameters such as job name, the timing and frequency of updating the databases you want to view and set of queries to such databases.
Fast Patent main view is the list of results from each job that the user has configured. Through this list, the tool has a range of filtering and sorting, as well as the ability to insert comments, reviews or recommend any specific outcome of interest to you or other people around them.
CITIC initial development tool has been linked to two sources of information: The EPO (European Patent Office) and database Pub Med biomedical literature, belonging to the National Center for Biotechnology Information U.S. (NCBI).
J. A. Hurt ado, Project Manager of the Centre, states that “the potential of this tool and application areas are numerous, since, although initial development have included only two databases, the application is scalable, making it possible add different information sources, customizing, thus, the platform and data query.
Fast Patent is an instrument of technological support for surveillance and decision-making because it facilitates the access, analysis, dissemination and exploitation of various sources of information and technology trends in a simple, fast and efficient, individually or collectively. With it, users will have a greater capacity to make decisions and identify opportunities, among others.
