Abstract:
A plurality of subtechnologies may be identified in which each of the plurality of subtechnologies is characterized by a common granularity level. The organization-level demand and/or expertise for each of the identified plurality of subtechnologies may also be identified. Thereafter, a corresponding plurality of subtechnology profiles may be generated, which include a corresponding organization-level demand and/or expertise, as well as other subtechnology attributes. In one embodiment, the generated subtechnology profiles may then be stored in a common technology database. The technology database may be searched based on user queries entered via the common graphical user interface. The subtechnology search results may be ranked based, at least in part, on a quantitative comparison of the subtechnology's general relevance to the user, with the internal relevance to the user's company or organization.
