OECD takes semantic approach to KM

TEMIS has won a tender to supply its Semantic Content Enrichment solution Luxid at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The OECD provides economic advice to its 34 member governments and 100 other countries. It has  launched a Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) Program to assist managing and delivering information and improving its accessibility and presentation.

TEMIS' flagship Luxid Content Enrichment Platform  was chosen to address all Semantic Enrichment stages of the KIM framework. Luxid will help OECD to consistently enrich document metadata in alignment with its taxonomies and ontologies, providing a semantic integration layer across heterogeneous document storage and content management components. 

This semantic layer will both enable new search and browsing methods and improved relevance and accuracy of search results, as well as progressively build an integrated map of OECD knowledge.

"After careful evaluation, the OECD selected TEMIS Luxid platform as the key technological component to support the transition from content to semantic information," said Simone Sergi, KIM Senior Program Manager, OECD.

"This mark of trust by OECD represents a new recognition of our ability to address challenges in international organisations. For TEMIS, this is a link between our know-how in the publishing domain and our industrial experience in information systems," said Fabien Gauthier, Sales Director, Enterprise, TEMIS.

Based on patented and award-winning Natural Language Processing technologies, Luxid exploits off-the-shelf extractors called Skill Cartridges to extract targeted information from unstructured content and semantically enrich it with domain-specific metadata. This enables professional publishers to efficiently package and deliver relevant information to their audience, and helps enterprises to intelligently archive, manage, analyze, discover and share increasing volumes of information.
