Title: Smart Data for the Publishing Industry

Abstract: Smart Data is a central element for the Publishing Industry. A review of the rich data published by Elsevier via 9 Research platforms will be presented. Particular emphasis will be devoted to our investments in Knowledge graphs, Information Extraction, and Entity annotation. After this initial introduction, we will focus our attention on three particular applications built on top of our rich data. Authors' disambiguation is an open research problem where the goal is to match different identities attributed to the same Author during his/her life. Article fingerprinting is a rich set of information extraction techniques used for classifying articles and for building analytical tools leveraged by research institutions. News Trend detection is another rich set of matching tools used for tracking how institutions and researchers are mentioned by public and social media.
