juris connects TEMIS’ XeLDA® linguistic engine to its content management platform to optimize document indexing.

Saarbrücken/Heidelberg, Germany: July 11, 2006. TEMIS, the leading software vendor in Text Mining and juris GmbH, the renowned German print and online publisher for all legal information, today announce they have signed a major technology deal.

 

There are more than two million court rulings in Germany every year. Tens of thousands of them are being published and new ones are added every day. By providing access  to more than 13 million documents, juris has pioneered the way the judiciary, prosecutors and advocates can access precious information.

 

Under this agreement, juris will embed TEMIS’ XeLDA® linguistic engine into its legal online-research platform. XeLDA® will be used to enhance the existing retrieval of legal documents. TEMIS’ linguistic engine will allow to analyze legal documents in German and to improve the indexation process, thereby leading to more accurate and comprehensive search results for juris’ customers.

 

XeLDA® is an acclaimed multilingual linguistic engine. It models and standardizes unstructured documents in order to automatically exploit their content. Based on a technology developed through 20 years of Research and Development, XeLDA® provides the most advanced Text Analytics features, enabling textual information processing in 20 languages.

 

XeLDA® offers a scalable, robust, accurate and efficient range of services based on natural language processing components that can be integrated in business-critical applications:

  • Automatic language identification
  • Segmentation of text into sentences
  • Split of text into lexical units (tokenization)
  • Morphological text analysis and lemmatization
  • Syntactic disambiguation to determine the exact grammatical category of each word according to its context
  • Extraction of word sequences that form noun phrases
  • Recognition of idiomatic expressions

 

After a thorough evaluation of several available systems on the market, juris has concluded that both the superior quality and flexibility of the XeLDA® system as well as the expertise and responsiveness of the TEMIS team ensure the unprecedented level of quality that juris wants to offer their clients.

 

“We are very pleased about the cooperation with TEMIS. The new linguistic component is an immediate advantage for our customers to simplify their legal research”, said Dr. h.c. Gerhard Käfer, General Manager, juris GmbH

 

"With juris we are adding another prestigious publisher to our list of customers. We highly appreciate juris’ decision to license our products and we are proud that one more time, XeLDA® proved to be the leading linguistic engine on the market”, said Manfred Pitz, Sales Manager of TEMIS Deutschland GmbH.
