Jan-29-2008 - Expert System, leading provider of semantic software, which
discovers, classifies and interprets text information, has announced
improvements in its COGITO platform to allow for easy integration with
enterprise applications from IBM, Microsoft, Oracle and EMC².  The new
features include:

- Cogito compatibility with IBM UIMA standards (Unstructured Information
Management Architecture) - an extensible platform for creating, integrating
and deploying unstructured information management solutions from
combinations of semantic analysis and search components.
- Cogito integration with Microsoft SharePoint to support collaboration
among end-users, combining search functions and a more effective
organization of information within a company. This includes the
categorization of documents to the automatic extraction of relevant
concepts; the selection of information to the discovery of hidden
relationships among data.
- Leverage Cogito with Oracle RDF/OWL technologies for the Semantic Web.
Identification of "triples" - subject/property/object - allows the meaning
of texts to be cataloged in a relational database with uniform and web
compliant metadata for ultra large-scale queries and analysis.
- Cogito specific connection interface for EMC²'s Documentum - enabling
companies to classify, route, and extract key business information from
incoming documents, saving time and improving customer responsiveness.

These new features are part of Expert System's strategy to build technology
that mines all the inherent value from corporate document sets while
leveraging existing investment in software platforms and applications.  At
the same time, flexibility and modularity have been built into the new
features continuing a tradition of COGITO being customizable and open.

"All applications based on Cogito are perfectly compatible with each other,
can coexist with other platforms and can be integrated with various existing
business applications to increase their value" explains Marco Varone, CTO
and President of Expert System. "For companies this means an increase in the
value of existing technologies, an increased return on investment, and the
certainty of a smooth integration path."

"Cogito has been recognized as the semantic technology with the highest
recall and precision on the market today", says Mr. Varone.  "But the
technical advantage we bring to corporations would be worthless unless we
could embed and enhance our product with the investments companies have
already made in their platforms and processes.  So with these integration
improvements there is no reason a company using the great products from IBM,
Microsoft, Oracle or EMC² can't also realize the high ROI from Cogito".
