Dark data in R&D: How knowledge management can uncover hidden value

Dark data is defined by Gartner as “the information assets organizations collect, process, and store during regular business activities, but generally fail to use for other purposes.” As no one knows what data is there or how to access it, the insights it contains remain in the dark.
