The need for more comprehensive and “easy to use” search tools especially for patent documents still exists. In this paper, the developments of the ongoing project of voestalpine Stahl GmbH together with their partners regarding the implementation of a semantic search tool and an appropriate visualisation are revealed.The main focus is on the different methods of analysis and examples of applications of the software. The features are on the one hand, a semantic representation of the content of the patent documents, in combination with the user’s feedback and the use of landscape visualisation during the retrieval process. On the other hand a satisfactory quality is ensured by using among other features a document corpus which is finite and focused on the technology areas of voestalpine.
