World's Leading Agricultural Publisher CABI Selects Collexis to Develop Knowledge Discovery Application and Semantic Search Solutions
Collexis to Develop a Pilot Program That Expands Research and Networking Capabilities for CABI
Wednesday, April 23, 2008 - Collexis Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: CLXS), a leading developer of high
definition search and knowledge discovery software, announced today that CABI, a not-for-profit
international organization specializing in scientific publishing, research and communication, has selected
the company to develop a knowledge discovery application and provide semantic search solutions by
instituting a Knowledge Dashboard as a pilot implementation.
Collexis will analyze a vertical of CABI content in a cutting edge application that will provide expert profiles and trends related to agriculture and the environment—enabling the organization to expand its offering from one of pure content provisioning to discovery. The dashboard will be developed along with conceptual mapping capabilities that will broaden and expand upon the organization's existing resources and total offering by providing a succinctly compiled site and portal for researchers and publishers to connect with one another and collaborate. The organization's flagship product, the CABI Abstracts Database, covers the world’s literature in agriculture, the environment and related disciplines, with its detailed subject indexing and classification ensuring that this information is retrievable and in context.
“We have been looking for technology partners who go beyond standard solutions like search applications
into expertise and knowledge management, says Andrea Powell, CABI's executive director, publishing.“The gathering and contextualizing of information in our subject areas are key success factors for our
organization - and this pilot project will explore and prove how the unique Collexis Fingerprint and expert
profiling technology can help CABI achieve its business objectives.”
