Abstract

Patent classification schemes such as the International Patent Classification maintained by the World Intellectual Property Organization are of vital importance for patent searchers, because they usually act as an entry point for the search process. We present a method for augmenting patents by assigning them to classes of a different classification scheme, i.e.~a science taxonomy derived from the Wikipedia Science Portal. For each scientific discipline contained in the portal, descriptive keywords are extracted from the linked Web pages. These keywords are used to identify relevant patents and associate them to the appropriate scientific disciplines. This ontology is part of the Patent Taxonomy Integration and Interaction Framework, which is a flexible approach allowing for the integration of different patent ontologies enabling a wide range of interaction methods.
