Work context
The PROMTECH project European project to identify and assess
promising emerging technical fields Consortium:
Austrian Research Centers GmbH – ARC systems research, ViennaFraunhofer Institut für Systemtechnik und Innovationsforschung, KarlsruheINstitut de l‘Information Scientifique et Technique, CNRS, Nancy
Operational choices:Search for articles in Engineering and Life Sciences with links to PhysicsUse of PASCAL database for its fine classification for individual papers(i.e. a paper may have several codes or domains) 300+ fieldsIdentification of fields with 4 growth indexes 45 fieldsFinal selection by experts 10 fields

Home technology terms
From the 45 fields (period 2005-2009), we extract the keywords,
Based on its relative frequency, each keyword is assigned a technological field: its “home technology”,
Each technology is characterized by a set of keywords we call “home technology terms”,
Each technology is also indexed by keywords from other home technologies:

An artificial construction with artifacts

Applying a clustering method
Stanalyst: platform for the analysis of scientific & technical information
used to find the different intersections between Physics and Engineering or Life Sciences
Neurodoc: clustering tool using an axial K-means algorithm
Impact of Optoelectronics: all records from other fields with at least one HT term
from Optoelectronics Impact on Optoelectronics:
clustering of the Optoelectronics corpus using only imported HT terms

Conclusion
We were looking for innovation at the intersection of Physics and Engineering or Life Sciences,
Using the well-defined domain classification scheme of the PASCAL database,
We assigned terms to technologies in a pragmatic way “home technology terms”,
To analyze the interrelationships and the trade balance between fields.
How useful is it? Still not sure, but we are working on it.
