The German content provider integrates TEMIS indexing engine within its new SpringerLink platform.

Heidelberg, Germany � January 23, 2007 � Springer-Verlag media, the second-largest publisher in the science, technology, and medicine (STM) sector, today announced that they have entered a software licence and services agreement with TEMIS, the leading provider of Text Analytics solutions. Springer will deploy TEMIS Luxid� Annotation Factory and Luxid� Information Mart software for their Semantic Linking project.

This project is aimed at giving instant access to complex scientific documents and providing innovative navigation capabilities in online journals and encyclopaedias.

The next-generation SpringerLink platform will enable users reading a text in a specific domain of knowledge, to be automatically connected to other specialized publications and encyclopaedias. For instance, when a psychologist reads an article about a specific nervous disease or when a materials engineer looks for information about new kinds of plastics, they will automatically be informed about other available publications linked to their centers of interest such as a specific pharmaceutical publication or a niche magazine on bionics.
