The Times They Are A-Changin' - The Corporate History Analyzer

چکیده
Up-to-date corporate information research, i.e. the active tracking and management of knowledge relevant to one’s business, is a major task for knowledge-intensive companies. While the correct analysis of market situations and competitors are critical requirements for success, the failure to provide adequate knowledge about one’s business environment may incur large losses. In order to support the tracking of external business knowledge and its analysis, we have built CHAR, the Corporate History AnalyseR, a new type of system for gathering and analysing temporal data about companies. CHAR integrates facts about organizational structures and strategic activities into a common knowledge base. Building on an ontology with an elaborate temporal structure, knowledge pieces are amalgamated in order to derive a plentitude of summarizing views onto current and previous states of affairs.

The analogy to diabetes is obvious. The waters around us are the rising prevalence of diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity and the song calls on us to recognize that, if things do not change, we will “sink like a stone” (1). Dylan’s words serve to warn us that we need to do something now, or we will face the overwhelming societal, economic, and health consequences of diabetes. For many years, we ...
