Text analytics is a data analysis technique that is used in several industries to develop new insights, make new discoveries, and improve operations. This should be applicable to materials scientists and informaticists also, say Kalathil
et al. in this 2018 paper published in
Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics. Using a coclustering text analysis technique and custom tools, the researchers demonstrate how others can "better understand how specific components or materials are involved in a given technology or research stream, thereby increasing their potential to create new inventions or discover new scientific findings." In their example, they reviewed nearly 438,000 titles and abstracts to examine 16 materials, allowing them to "associate individual materials with specific clean energy applications, evaluate the importance of materials to specific applications, and assess their importance to clean energy overall."

Biobanks (which include both specimens and databases) contain a huge amount of personal health information, requiring firm regulatory oversight to guarantee privacy and ethical use of these materials. To facilitate the complex organization and interplay between biobanks and research and development, companies and institutions are increasingly using laboratory information management systems (LIMS), biobank management software...

Cao
et al. describe their design
and methodology used in constructing a system of tighter data integration for pharmaceutical research and manufacturing in this 2018 paper published in
Process. Recognizing the "integration of data in a consistent, organized, and reliable manner is a big challenge for the pharmaceutical industry," the authors developed an ontological information structure relying on the ANSI/ISA-88 batch control standard, process control systems, a content management systems, a purpose-built electronic laboratory notebook, and cloud services, among other aspects. The authors conclude, after describing two use cases, that "data from different process levels and distributed locations can be integrated and contextualized with meaningful information" with the help of their information structure, allowing "industrial practitioners to better monitor and control the process, identify risk, and mitigate process failures."
