Research into Patents: Building bridges with IP Linked Open Data

Moderator: Rainer Osterwalder, Director, Communication, EPO Guest: Dolores Modic, Postdoktor, Nord University Business School Innovation and IP data are prototypical “big data” troves used by organisations for informed decision making and evidence-based policy development, Dolores Modic explains in her podcast. To facilitate this usage providers such as the EPO need to openly publish their data in a standardised machine-readable form on the Internet for enabling the sets to be interlinked. The IP Linked Open Data map builds bridges by connecting the EPO’s EP Linked Open Data with the Springer SCI Grass data and is available to the public.
