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® 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.
