Innovation Information Initiative

The Innovation Information Initiative (I³) is a data collaborative for open innovation data and related analytics, tools, and metrics.  This includes global patent datasets, citation graphs among + between patents and scholarship, and metrics or secondary datasets derived from these.

Datasets will include for instance patent-product links, scholarship-funding data, disambiguation datasets for authors and affiliations, and subsets of the full patent-scholarship citation graph, enriched with extended metadata.

All participants are welcome. We will host regular convenings over the next two years to shape this collaborative and share our work. Below are notes from our first biannual technical working group meeting. We welcome related essays for submission - you will need an account to create a draft.

This initiative is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation; find a summary of our activities here.
