_User Stories_  
* \"a service for our customers to boost competitive intelligence... [by] monitor[ing] the status of their technology and possible competitors in the area in which they undertake their activity\";
* \"patent analysis is not easy and there are not many tools that could help us, so Fusepool patent analysis... could be a great resource to be more effective in the search\";
* \"provide [our] clients with patent tips for close-to-market opportunities (in preparing Technology Offers/Request for the Enterprise Europe Network Marketplace)\";
* \"The most important feature is definitely around the collection, gathering and processing of various sources of information in the intellectual property sector, possibly also interlinked with other areas of product development such as research funding and collaboration opportunities\";
* \"PatentExplorer will help scope our clients' ideas into a minimal prototype that is not infringing on already granted rights\"During the demos and presentations of Fusepool applications, the stakeholders interactively participated by asking clarification questions and providing their views and assessment (_ad hoc_). The discussions, as well as the questionnaire sent out after the workshop favored three application scenarios: FundingFinder, Partner/ExpertMatch and Patent/PublicationsExplorer. * PatentExplorer (PublicationExplorer): Millions of patents are freely available in XML, with the majority in English, German and French related to the medical domain. All patents have the base properties with patent classification codes. Millions of medical journal articles for establishing prior articles are freely available in XML with the base properties;
* FundingFinder: Funding includes available public and private tenders or calls for proposals. Following the guidelines by the data publishers, some of the funding datasets are available to data subscribers only;
* PartnerMatch (ExpertMatch): Fusepool PartnerMatch helps find partners with similar or complementary capabilities for product research and development. Following the guidelines by the data publishers, some of the partner datasets are available to data subscribers only. These Fusepool application scenarios have in common that they find information that is best suited to address a specific user need. Hence, all application scenarios share these three core functionalities:  
1. Searching and retrieving information: The search engine uses the search index of all information available to identify and rank the most relevant results based on a scoring algorithm. The resulting screen is split into two sections, a large one for displaying the search results and a smaller one for displaying parameters to refine the search results;
2. Limiting retrieved entities or retrieving related information: The user limits the search results by clicking on one of the facets and/or extends the results to retrieve related information by clicking on one or more entities;
3. Providing feedback or annotations to a result: The user \"writes\" back to the data pool by adding personal annotations and customizations that can be shared among multiple users. For example, predicted labels automatically describe patent clusters, but a user may choose to give it a more descriptive name and share that label with colleagues.
