semantic annotation and linking of competitive intelligence reports for business clusters
Competitive intelligence (CI) is a sub-discipline of business intelligence that supports the decision makers in understanding the competitive environment by means of textual reports prepared based on public resources. CI is particularly demanding in the context of larger business clusters. We report on a long-term project featuring large-scale manual semantic annotation of CI reports wrt. business clusters in several industries. The underlying ontologies are the result of collaborative editing by multiple student teams. The results of annotation are finally merged into CI maps that allow easy access to both the original documents and the knowledge structures.
