Abstract:
Database Information Visualization and Analysis system (DIVA) is a computer
program that helps perform bibliometric analysis of collections of
scientific literature and patents for technology forecasting. Documents,
drawn from the technological field of interest, are visualized as clusters
on a two dimensional map, permitting exploration of the relationships
among the documents and document clusters and also permitting derivation of
summary data about each document cluster.

Such information, when provided to subject matter experts performing a
technology forecast, can yield insight into trends in the technological
field of interest. This paper discusses the document visualization and
analysis process: acquisition of documents, mapping documents, clustering,
exploration of relationships, and generation of summary and trend
information.

Detailed discussion of DIVA exploration functions is presented and followed
by an example of visualization and analysis of a set of documents about
chemical sensors. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
