Text data mining of research abstract databases, across time, shows how an emergent technology is progressing towards commercialization. Text data mining tools like VantagePoint can provide insights into the progress of a technology discipline showing the projection of research trends for strategic analysis and displaying the interconnections between research topics. Technology development starts with the underlying science where theoretical concepts are proposed and tested, to a more focused and technical research on devices that apply these theories. This paper demonstrates a time series text mining approach to the development of server virtualization technology as example of an emerging technology. Since there are three dimensions in the development of technology; basic science, technology development, and business process focus, this research presents the results of the text data mining of research abstracts projected in a three-dimensional virtual reality visualization.
