Visualize with Standard Clustering Options

STN^® AnaVist^TM allows you to select the data fields that are used to cluster the answers in an imported document answer set. The clustered answers are displayed on the Research Landscape.

The fields used as clustering options are widely available in the database collections supported by STN AnaVist. This table lists the available clustering option fields and the collections that populate them:

Field	CAplus	EPFULL	PCTFULL	USPATFULL	USPAT2	WPINDEX
Title / Abstract	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
Exemplary/First Claim	N	Y	Some	Y	Y	Some
All Claims	N	Y	Some	Y	Y	N
Technology Indicators	Y	N	N	Some	Some	N
IPC Codes	Some	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
Key: Y = Yes, used in collection. N = No, not used in collection. Some = Some documents in collection contain this field.

Because not all of these fields are present in every record or collection, a primary-backup relationship controls how the fields interact as clustering options. Backup field(s) are used if all primary fields are unavailable for a particular document. For example, if Exemplary/First Claim is unavailable in documents from one or more collections, the Title / Abstract fields are used as a backup.

Procedure

Before you begin:

Import an STN Express^® document set.
Click Visualize....

To visualize with standard clustering options:

On the Visualize dialog box, review the fields that are available as standard clustering options for the imported document set.
Refer to the guidelines for clustering options to help you understand the relationships among the fields.
If you want to:
- Visualize the document set using the standard clustering options, click Start. The visualization can take up to several minutes to complete. When the visualization is done, proceed to Visualize Document Information.
- Change the clustering options, click Custom...
- Exit the dialog box without changing options or starting a visualization, click Cancel
