TEMIS Selected by National Agricultural Library to Automate Indexing Process

Semantic enrichment software leader to assist US Department of Agriculture in meeting strategic productivity goals

New York, NY – September 27, 2011 – TEMIS, the leading provider of Semantic Content Enrichment Solutions for the Enterprise, today announced it was awarded a major contract by the National Agricultural Library (NAL), one of the world’s largest agricultural information collections, part of the United States Department of Agriculture. NAL will use Luxid® for Content Enrichment to automatically index hundreds of thousands of documents annually.

To keep up with the escalating demand for its information services, NAL has acquired through TEMIS an automated indexing software that vastly expands the potential number of articles indexed each year while simultaneously achieving a high level of quality.

TEMIS will tackle NAL’s indexing challenge with its Luxid® for Content Enrichment Platform, the industry-leading and award-winning Text Mining platform that turns unstructured data into actionable knowledge, enabling advanced content enrichment for indexing, enhanced search and navigation, content analysis and strategic information discovery. Luxid®’s automated categorization process will rely on the NAL Agricultural Thesaurus (NALT), a key component of the library’s organizational tools.

“We’re thrilled to assist the USDA in meeting this strategic challenge”, said Guillaume Mazieres, Executive Vice President North American Operations of TEMIS. “We will deploy Luxid® 6 to fully take advantage of NAL’s thesaurus and help make the Library’s amazing information collections even more accessible to its wide variety of constituents.”

With Luxid® for Content Enrichment driving its indexing processes, NAL expects significant productivity gains:  six in-house indexers will be able to index by subject 300,000 articles per year, a four-fold increase over the current average indexer’s level of production. The assignment of subject retrieval terms in NAL’s AGRICOLA Index (aka “subject indexing”) is currently performed entirely by human indexers who average 75,000 articles each year.

About the National Agricultural Library
The National Agricultural Library is one of four national libraries of the United States, with locations in Beltsville, Maryland and Washington, D.C. It houses one of the world’s largest and most accessible agricultural information collections and serves as the nexus for a national network of state land-grant and U.S. Department of Agriculture field libraries. Every year NAL delivers tens of millions of direct customer service transactions, a record that is growing year upon year.

Springer and TEMIS Extend their Collaboration on Semantic Analysis of Scientific Content

Heidelberg, Germany – May 19th, 2011 - Springer Science+Business Media, a leading global scientific publisher of books and journals, and TEMIS, a leading provider of Semantic Content Enrichment solutions for the Enterprise, today announced they have agreed on a broad extension of their strategic collaboration on semantic enrichment and linking of content for the SpringerLink platform.

A global leader in Scientific, Technical and Medical publishing, Springer Science+Business Media operates SpringerLink, one of the world’s largest distribution platforms for scientific eBooks and eJournals.

Springer and TEMIS have a long and successful track-record of joint work aimed at facilitating information access on the SpringerLink portal by offering intuitive navigational tools to customers searching for the scientific content most relevant to their topics of interest. At the core of this partnership, TEMIS’s flagship Luxid® Content Enrichment Platform leverages a sophisticated combination of linguistic and statistical methods to calculate semantic relatedness among the millions of publications accessible on SpringerLink. This enables the automatic recommendation for each available article or book chapter of a selection of highly-relevant, semantically-related documents, without requiring specific editorial efforts.

The goal of the recent extension of the Springer-TEMIS partnership is to generalize this approach to link not only documents to each other, but also to concepts originating from structured domain-specific vocabularies and to key topics derived from the documents’ content.

“At Springer, we are always working on making our content findable in a better and more efficient way. With Semantic Linking, we can offer our users powerful tools of discovery that make it so much easier to find relevant content”, said Dr. Thomas Mager, Executive Vice President Publishing Product Development at Springer. “We are happy to extend our successful cooperation with TEMIS and start our new project, which will create a rich web of connectivity between all content items on SpringerLink.”

The project reaffirms TEMIS’ position as the leading vendor of Semantic Content Enrichment Solutions. “Springer clearly understands the current challenges and opportunities associated to digital publishing and the transformational role that Semantic Content Enrichment can play for SpringerLink. We are very excited to support Springer’s strategic plans in this domain”, explains Stefan Geißler, Managing Director of TEMIS Deutschland, and one of TEMIS founders. “The fact that TEMIS is able to deliver meaningful results on arbitrary scientific fields with subsecond response times proves the unparalleled adaptability of the TEMIS Luxid® Content Enrichment Platform.”

About Springer
Springer is a leading global scientific publisher of books and journals, delivering quality content through innovative information products and services. It publishes close to 500 academic and professional society journals. Springer is part of the publishing group Springer Science+Business Media. In the science, technology and medicine (STM) sector, the group publishes around 2,000 journals and more than 6,500 new books a year, as well as the largest STM eBook Collection worldwide.

AAAS/Science Selects TEMIS for Semantics Content Enrichment Project with HighWire

The American Association for the Advancement of Science Enhances Search Experience and Linking of Content.

Washington DC, New York, Palo Alto, USA – April 7, 2011 – The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) announced its decision to work with its ePublishing partner, HighWire Press, and TEMIS, leading provider of semantic content enrichment solutions for the Enterprise, to offer a new, integrated, semantically fueled digital publishing program.

A global leader in Scientific, Technical and Medical publishing, AAAS is the Washington, DC-based publisher of the renowned journal Science, an international publication with an estimated total readership of one million. The goal of this strategic project is an enhanced online destination incorporating the prestigious content of the Science family of Web sites, plus a number of other digital assets under the AAAS umbrella. 

“We wanted a flexible and portable semantics solution that could plug into Science and our other research content on HighWire as well as pull in other elements from our organization, such as breaking news and information on careers in science,” said Deborah Rivera-Wienhold, Director of Business Operations, AAAS. “TEMIS’s impressive suite of tools for analyzing and leveraging content seemed ideal for our requirements to better serve our community by offering a unified and faceted user experience.”

TEMIS provides an enterprise-wide solution in content enrichment that can be extended to a variety of digital assets. “By making online information products more compelling, Luxid® for Content Enrichment Platform helps engage, retain and cross-sell to publishers’ audiences,” said Guillaume Mazieres, TEMIS’s Executive Vice president for North American Operations. “We’re thrilled to work with AAAS to make their highly respected content even more valuable to their broad community of users. HighWire’s open and scalable platform is perfectly poised to leverage our semantic enrichment on behalf of Science and AAAS.”

The AAAS project is part of a larger undertaking touching many areas of AAAS’ business, including the broad rubric of content enrichment. “Our goal is to figure out how to make our content more format-agnostic and self-aware,” said Stewart Wills, Science‘s Editorial Director for Web and New Media. “We’re focusing on ways to add value for authors through efficient handling of papers and articles, for advertisers through improved business intelligence, and ultimately for users through new serendipity and discovery tools to help them manage today’s information glut.”
 
TEMIS’s solution for Semantic Content Enrichment, Luxid®, will play a pivotal role in AAAS’s plans to better align advertising and marketing activities with its editorial products, improve linkage of a variety of content, enhance search across its daily workflow and archives, and ultimately drive membership and revenues.

Luxid® automates the semantic enrichment of unstructured content, producing metadata that help search engines return more relevant results. It creates “facets” which are used to further explore the search engine’s results. Luxid® also connects content, creating a network of semantic ties between documents. This enables the suggesting of related and similar documents, furthering the process of knowledge recommendation.

HighWire has offered semantically-driven features and services for publishers for over 10 years. HighWire facilitates discoverability both through their long-standing, custom taxonomic and development efforts and through the integration of third party solutions, such as TEMIS.

“We are extending the boundaries of HighWire’s open platform through an integration tool kit, emphasizing connectedness in many forms, including semantics,” said John Sack, HighWire’s Director. “We are enthusiastic about helping publishers collect and connect content across many different repositories and look forward to working with AAAS and TEMIS on this important project.”

TEMIS and Semantico Partner to Widen Publisher Access to Semantic Content Enrichment

London, UK – February 3rd, 2011 - Semantico, leading provider of services and technology for online publishing and TEMIS, leading provider of semantic content enrichment solutions for the Enterprise, are delighted to announce a strategic partnership.

The powerful text mining technology developed by TEMIS automates the semantic enrichment of unstructured content, dramatically improving its findability and discoverability by search engines and end-users. In online publications, the resulting richer metadata can be used to
• Help search engines return more relevant results
• Feed search facets to enable efficient drill-down in search results
• Recommend related or similar documents and knowledge

By making online information products more compelling, semantic content enrichment helps engage, retain and cross-sell to Publishers’ audiences. The technology can also be used to assemble innovative products such as highly focused Topic Pages that aggregate content coming from separate silos into a single product centered on any given area of interest. Richly tagged content also helps Publishers better align targeted advertising with the relevant audience.

Through this partnership, Semantico will offer a service that will allow a wide range of companies, including medium-sized and smaller publishers using Semantico’s publishing software, to make the most of this powerful technology to add value to their content much in the same way large publishers are already doing.

“Discoverability is at heart a commercial issue”, said Richard Padley, Managing Director, Semantico. “If people can’t find the content they need, then they won’t buy it. At Semantico we’re always looking for ways to make online content work harder and provide as much value as possible for publishers and end users. We are delighted, therefore, to have forged this exciting partnership with TEMIS.”

“More and more publishers are seeing the benefits of semantic content enrichment to boost the value of their content and help market it in innovative ways”, said Daniel Mayer, Product Marketing Manager, TEMIS.  “We are extremely pleased to partner with Semantico thereby offering our industry-leading content enrichment technology to a wider range of publishers”, added Peter Camilleri, Director, TEMIS UK. “We look forward to help them add value to their customers’ online titles.”
