Mar-6-2008 - Expert System, leading provider of semantic software which
discovers, classifies and interprets text information, has announced today
an important collaboration with Il Sole 24 ORE Group, the multimedia
publishing firm to reduce costs associated with the publishing process as
well as enrich the readers experience.

The solution is the result of the combined competences of Expert System and
of the Content Management and Product System structures of the Il Sole 24
ORE Group.

The system, now in the experimental phase, analyzes articles that are
published on the portal, and recognizes the
subject and the main elements (data related to places, people, companies,
institutions, etc). Articles are classified, with extreme precision, in a
completely automated way, and correlated to one or more similar articles.

The underlying semantic technology supplied by Expert System provides
machine-based comprehension of text, recognition of synonyms and finds the
correct meaning among similar concepts as intended by the author.

The application enables the generation of links to the most relevant
articles: this assists the users during navigation and increases access to
portal contents.

"The automatic categorization of contents represents an innovative activity
that enhances the wealth of multimedia information from the publisher" says
Raffaele Turiel, Content Manager of the Multimedia Area at the Sole 24 Ore.

"The collaboration with Il Sole 24 Ore proves that our technology can be
integrated with success in complex publishing systems", explains Stefano
Spaggiari, CEO of Expert System. "Thanks to the ability to classify and
correlate a large quantity of information, the solution based on the Cogito
technology allows a remarkable increase in the value of the processes of
information management."
