With the public available patent data, there exists an exciting source of raw data around innovation activities. We want to go a step further and are continuously looking for further, innovation-related open data, like technology transfer deals or M&A activities in high-tech industries. Besides these raw datasets, we are looking for ontologies or common vocabularies which help us to better integrate and analyze the relevant data sources. Any suggestions are highly welcome!
Hi Lutz,
I think data that you are looking for are either very unstructured and messy or organised in a very niche vertical. For example I think there are some investing data on crunchbase, prosecution data on pair, litigation data on patentblast etc. Well organised data portal/service like Lex Machina are usually paid services.
A general enough ontology on "innovation" would be the holy grail... I believe ontology studies on patent are still very theoretical... Which frameworks do you think will become "standardised"?
cheers,

Hi Jimi,
thank you very much for your answer. You describe the situation very precisely. We are searching exactly for these small, unstructured peaces of innovation-related data. So if you find any interesting detailed data set, please share it with us.
I deeply appreciate your opinion regarding a usable ontology on innovation, Do you know any paper in this field you would recommend to read?
Best, Lutz
Hi Lutz,
you may have a look at World Bank's Management, Organisation and Innovation Survey Microdata:
