This report focuses on the strategic role and the implementation of textual data mining (TDM) in government organizations, with special emphasis on TDM to support the management of science and technology (S&T). It begins by defining TDM, and discussing the strategic management process in federal government organizations and the role of TDM as an integral part of this process. The report then proceeds to describe some of the uses and applications of TDM. The results of a demonstration program by the U.S. Office of Naval Research show some potential benefits from TDM: (1) integration of national and multi-national S&T databases; (2) supporting strategic decisions on the direction and funding of government ST; and (3) creation of usable S&T databases to support strategic decisions in other areas of government. Implications of the demonstration program relative to larger scale implementation of TDM are discussed. The report ends with a description of the principles and requirements of higher quality TDM studies. The appendix describes conceptually how a college-based TDM training program could be implemented.Office of Naval Research Arlington VA is the author of 'Science and Technology Text Mining: Strategic Management and Implementation in Government Organization' with ISBN 9781423585664 and ISBN 1423585666.
