PSALM - Tool for business intelligence

This paper describes PSALM, a recently developed tool for business intelligence. The tool is based on MySQL database and web robot, both supported by routines developed in Java and PHP. The PSALM assembles patent data from publicly available data bases, it collects and analyses bibliographic parameters of patents but also does text mining. High-dimensional data contained in the patent documents are transformed into much lower dimensionality space (2D or 3D), clustered and visualized. The PSALM functionality and usability is demonstrated on MPEG-2 essential patents' portfolio.
