Abstract : Intelligence activities in a profit-oriented organization need to highly focus on the organization's mission just like any other activities. The whole process of information gathering and analysis is deeply linked to the strategy planning. This linkage and the company's strategy must be well understood and shared between the information clients and the intelligence departments.
Compared to their western counterparts, Japanese companies are relatively week in effectively utilizing information after eagerly pursuing a lot of information sources. Strategic planning is deadly needed in the intelligence activities just like in any other activities.
At the outset of the 21-century, Japan, as a country, is questioned about its strategic setting. The same is exactly the case with Japanese business entities. In conclusion, intelligence activities need more attention as a core of such strategic setting.

Abstract : Bibliometrics is a method for quantative analysis of many aspects of academic activities, such as structure of academic-circles, research trends and so on. In this paper, as an example, we introduce bibliometric analysis on the process of international research network formation through co-authored papers between Japan and foreign countries throughout 16-year period from 1981 to 1997, for each academic research field.
At first, we overview the situation of international research network formation between Japan and all other countries. After that, we especially focus on the collaboration between Japan and France, another major non-English speaking country, and analyze the structure of research network between the two countries by type of collaboration.

The analysis of patent information and patent map
Kimio ARAI
(Inpatec. Co., Ltd. (1487-1Uematsu-cho, Hamamatsu-shi, Shizuoka 430-0803))
Abstract : Patent Map is designed to keep track of patent information, to extract data or key-words, to quantitatively, qualitatively, and correlatively analyze the data, and to show the result of the analyses with diagrams such as time-series graphs and distributional matrices.
The Patent Map is an effective strategic tool for visually grasping the invisible status of technological developments in technology trends or competition activities.

Application of Text mining for Document Data
Yuki TOYODA
(HOSEI University Graduate School Division of Social Sciences Business Administration Doctor's Course (2-15-2, Itigaya-tamati Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo 162-0843))
Abstract : The purpose of this paper is explaining the validity of text mining. We aim at explaining about “What can we do using text mining?". Especially we assume use in a library or an information center, so we use for analysis the actual document data which is on WEB for this description.

Text Mining : Technologies and Applications
Isamu WATANABE
(Fujitsu Laboratories LTD. (4-1-1 Kamikodanaka, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa 211-8588))
Abstract : Text mining is a technology to extract useful information, or knowledge, from a large collection of textual documents.
Information Retrieval aims to select appropriate documents which satisfy queries by users, while text mining aims to extract patterns or trends of the whole documents, which can not be known from individual documents. Text mining is a nascent research field, but has come into wide use in these several years as a new tool to access and analyze textual information. This paper describes technologies and applications of text mining.

The analysis of the documents in the medical information

Abstract : We review and introduce the analytic case reports of the medical information by bibliometric study. In this the AIDS-related documents were analyzed by bibliometric methods. Furthemore, the analysis of core journals in neurological science was described using 2 Step-Map, a technique of the sociological of science. In addition, since EBM is currently dominating the medical field as a keyword reflecting modern medicine, we also used this method to describe the analysis of Publication Type/Structured Abstract and Practice Guideline.
