De Gruyter Chooses TEMIS Semantic Content Enrichment Solution

Leading global academic publishing house to deploy "Luxid(R) for Content Enrichment" platform to deepen exploration of online publications library

HEIDELBERG and BERLIN, Germany, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    TEMIS, leading provider of semantic content enrichment solutions, and De Gruyter,
Berlin-based academic publishing house, today announced the joint signing of a major
license and services agreement.

    With semantic content enrichment developing into mainstream technology for the
information industry, De Gruyter made the strategic decision to integrate Luxid(R) into
its primary online portal, De Gruyter Online, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of
next-generation products and services to its growing global customer base.

    "By adding semantic content enrichment technology to enhance our online platform and
production processes, we increase customer satisfaction with the search and browse
experience, make it easier to find relevant content more quickly and continue to provide
innovative workflows and technology solutions to our authors and editors," said Christian
Kohl, Director Information and Publishing Technology at De Gruyter.

    TEMIS was an obvious choice for De Gruyter, Kohl added, because of Luxid(R)'s ability
to provide customized annotations and enrichment of content through its industry leading,
domain-specific Skill Cartridges(R) as well as its suite of user-friendly tools allowing
De Gruyter editors to define, build, test, evaluate and deploy their own Skill
Cartridges(R).

    "Semantic content enrichment has become a key enabling technology in the publishing
market where TEMIS already serves a large number of prestigious customers," said Manfred
Pitz, Director of Sales, TEMIS Germany. "By selecting Luxid(R) for Content Enrichment, De
Gruyter will have the tools to deliver increased value to its readers and authors. We are
excited about the wealth of functionalities Luxid(R) will add to De Gruyter's recently
released integrated platform, De Gruyter Online," he said.

    De Gruyter will deploy the Luxid(R) platform as part of its publishing workflow --
initially to enhance medical and linguistics-related content -- providing advanced search
and discovery tools designed to maximize searchability of content. De Gruyter subject
matter experts will use Luxid(R) to design domain-specific Skill Cartridges(R) based on
the publisher's thesauri renowned across the information industry.
