CAMBRIDGE, MA and SIOUX FALLS, SD, September 8, 2005:

Basis Technology® (www.basistech.com), the leader in multilingual information retrieval software, and BrightPlanet® Corporation (www.brightplanet.com), the leader in Deep Web document harvest and analysis, have signed an agreement to provide multilingual Deep Web search capabilities to a U.S. Government agency in support of national security objectives.

BrightPlanet has licensed Basis Technology’s Rosette Linguistics Platform® (RLP) for integration into its Deep Query Manager™ (DQM), a deep navigational search engine to assist the Intelligence Community in conducting multilingual searches and document harvests. This agreement enables BrightPlanet to market their information automation technology to more segments of the commercial and government marketplaces. BrightPlanet’s DQM is an automated search platform that “harvests” from search engines, directories and databases as it scours the Deep Web and the surface web.
