10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

adding the extracted node in response to the assigned unique key not matching a key of a node already in the stored synthesized target data.

11. A system comprising a processor and logic stored in one or more non-transitory, computer-readable, tangible media that are in operable communication with the processor, the logic configured to store a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to implement a method of aggregating and contextualizing data related to a target, the method comprising:

retrieving data related to the target from one or more data sources, wherein the target comprises at least one of a target drug or a target therapeutic treatment, wherein the one or more data sources comprises publicly available information related to the target;

synthesizing the retrieved target data in a contextual manner and creating synthesized target data by converting unstructured data into structured data including an event, wherein the event comprises a corpus of data from a single source on a single date;

storing the synthesized target data in a target specific database;

receiving a user query regarding the target, the user query comprising at least one search parameter;

processing the received user query against the synthesized target data in the target specific database; and

presenting results from the user query processed against the synthesized target data.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the event has a corresponding version identifier.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the event has a corresponding owner, wherein only the owner can edit the information in the event.

14. The system of claim 11 , the method further comprising:

defining a domain comprising a plurality of variable groups, wherein each domain comprises a dataset of variables and identifying information.

15. The system of claim 14 , the method further comprising:

adding variables to the domain,

wherein the added variables are chosen from: text, numerical, predetermined multi-select values, references, dates, Boolean data and descriptive metadata.

16. The system of claim 11 , wherein presenting results further comprises:

providing a user interface for navigating and visualizing data by organizing around common entities that occur frequently within a dataset.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the user query is directed to one of:

reimbursement with respect to the target; or

clinical trial results with respect to the target.

18. The system of claim 11 , the method further comprising:

defining resources in the one or more data sources as a function of a predetermined parameter,

wherein the predetermined parameter comprises at least one of a disease or a pharmaceutical drug.

19. The system of claim 11 , the method further comprising:

extracting a node of information from a data source;

assigning a unique key to the extracted node of information; and

adding the extracted node to the stored synthesized target data.

20. The system of claim 19 , the method further comprising:

adding the extracted node in response to the assigned unique key not matching a key of a node already in the stored synthesized target data.

21. A non-transitory computer readable media comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing apparatus, cause the processing apparatus to implement a method of aggregating and contextualizing data related to a target, the method comprising:

retrieving data related to the target from one or more data sources, wherein the target comprises at least one of a target drug or a target therapeutic treatment, wherein the one or more data sources comprises publicly available information related to the target;

synthesizing the retrieved target data in a contextual manner and creating synthesized target data by converting unstructured data into structured data including an event, wherein the event comprises a corpus of data from a single source on a single date;

storing the synthesized target data in a target specific database;

receiving a user query regarding the target, the user query comprising at least one search parameter;

processing the received user query against the synthesized target data in the target specific database; and

presenting results from the user query processed against the synthesized target data.
