Alfresco ECM has acquired semantic search capability via the addition of metadata detection and extraction technology from TEMIS.

Luxid is the name of a new solution that automatically extracts meaningful information (topics, entities, facts, sentiments, categories) from documents. When deployed on Alfresco Enterprise, Luxid can be used, to enrich search facets, recommend related content, link to enterprise knowledge bases, feed Business Intelligence dashboards or trigger business workflows.

“Alfresco sees tremendous value in enabling customers to explore valuable content with Luxid. In teaming with TEMIS, we are demonstrating the value of an open source solution for ease of integration”, said John Powell, President and CEO of Alfresco.

The Luxid-Alfresco integration aims to alleviate the need for time-consuming, manual metadata contribution.
