The Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis (INT) and Digital Science are collaborating to enable the technology foresight tool KATI (Knowledge Analytics for Technology & Innovation) to be combined with Dimensions data covering 116 million publications and 1.4 billion citations. They are also working together to make KATI available for users and clients outside of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. The newly formed collaboration will be launched at the Hannover Messe 2021.
Fraunhofer INT has developed and been using KATI for technology foresight and innovation management tasks carried out by researchers from Fraunhofer INT. The tool allows users to identify trends in large document sets and enables experts to quickly qualify and assess the data with the flexible analytical and visualization capabilities.
With the new collaboration between Fraunhofer and Digital Science/Dimensions, mutual clients can now use KATI together with the Dimensions data, allowing them to analyse more than 116 million publications. In addition, Dimensions also covers 5.5 million grants, 8 million datasets and 130 million patents, to allow a complete view on inputs, outputs and impact related to research activities. Dimensions has recently been made available to all of Fraunhofer’s 72 institutes and researchers throughout Germany.
As part of the collaboration, Fraunhofer and Digital Science are enabling the combination of KATI and Dimensions data as an ‘on premise’ installation with the option for clients to integrate their own data or as ‘per seat’ module. The team at Fraunhofer INT is available for strategy consulting and support services.
Fraunhofer and Digital Science will be sharing more about the collaboration at the (virtual only) Hannover Messe this week (April 12 – 16 2021).
