Patent Search
The patent search problem is highly representative of tomorrow's
search.
Multilingual, Multiple Sources Distributed all over the Internet
High value documents (organized in hierarchies, structured,
interlinked)
lengthy search sessions
Different types of information needs not very common in everyday
search
Need for multiple search tools and UIs

PerFedPat architecture and component overview
3
Inspired mainly by Yahoo Pipes
Based on ezDL
Three patent datasets already supported
More patent datasets are planned
EPO Espacenet
Google Patent Search
US Patent Full-Text and Full-Page Image Databases
Intellectual Property digital library of WIPO
CLEF-IP
MAREC
But many other data sources
These information sources can be free access patent
databases which are searchable though the web,
dynamically updated patent related data streams
such as RSS feeds,
patent related content behind pay-for-use turnstiles,
or
finally any other web resource that can be accessed
online (e.g. Non patent literature from scientific
digital libraries)
Query system enhanced to support patent search
Two Search tools (clustering of search results and
entity mining) have been integrated as tools
Modifications to adapt search process to patent search (for
example fusing of similar results is usually not desirable)
- MORE TOOLS WILL BE INTEGRATED
- ALSO ADAPTATIONS OF EXISTING
ALGORITHMS FOR SOURCE
SELECTION & RESULTS MERGING
