WASHINGTON, DC and ROCKVILLE, Virginia, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

TEMIS, leading provider of semantic content enrichment solutions, today announced that both its flagship Luxid® 7 and Luxid® Navigator-Biopharma Edition were named finalists for the Software & Information Industry Association's 2015 CODiE Awards. Finalists represent the information industry's best products, technologies, and services created by or for media, publishers, and information services providers.

Luxid® 7, finalist for "Best Semantic Technology Platform" 

Luxid® 7 automates the extraction of information (entities, relationships, categories, topics) from documents, enabling the enrichment of metadata and has been adopted by leading publishers to boost editorial productivity, deliver a compelling experience and create innovative products based on improved navigation, content recommendations, Linked Data, and analytics.

Luxid® 7 delivers an industry-first integrated workflow that simplifies key tasks and makes end-users more autonomous, offering a lower total cost of ownership. It includes Webstudio, a collaborative web application that enables users to create, edit and maintain their ontology while governing how ontological objects are recognized by the Luxid® semantic enrichment pipeline. Thanks to this integration, publishers can add semantic intelligence to their products in a fraction of the time required with a disconnected workflow.

Luxid® Navigator-Biopharma Edition, finalist for "Best Science and Technology Information Solution" 

Luxid® Navigator is a user-friendly SaaS analytics application that enables Life Sciences professionals to make faster and better informed clinical, regulatory, and business decisions, based on the visual exploration of biopharma open data. Leveraging advanced computational linguistics to classify, categorize and deeply link its data, Luxid® Navigator dynamically builds intuitive visualization widgets that help them find information in a few clicks instead of hours or days.

Offering specific search lenses on key areas of interest such as Clinical Trials Intelligence, Experts, Disease Pathways, Scientific Literature and News, the application now also enables users to build their own custom competitive intelligence dashboards, allowing visual exploration via Threat level, Launch Date, Pipeline, Timeline, and Bulls-eye charts, facilitating a centralized view of an organization's competitive landscape.

"We are honored by this dual CODiE nomination that recognizes TEMIS's teams strong commitment to advancing the digital reinvention of the Information Industry," said Daniel Mayer, VP Product & Marketing, TEMIS. "Indeed, throughout the information value chain, our focus is in helping organizations deliver the most compelling content experience to their audience, and building efficient, streamlined workflows."

"The CODiE Awards competition was extremely competitive this year and our finalists set the standard for innovation and quality in the media, publishing and information service markets," said Mike Marchesano, Managing Director of ABM and the SIIA Content & Information Services Division (CISD). "Each and every finalist should be commended for their innovation and market-leading products and services. I look forward to seeing them all at the ABM & Information Industry Summit in June."

The SIIA CODiE Awards are the industry's only peer-reviewed awards program. The first round review of all nominees is conducted by media, publishing, and information services executives with considerable industry expertise, including members of the industry, analysts, media and bloggers, and bankers and investors. The judges are responsible for selecting the CODiE Awards finalists. SIIA members then vote on the finalist products and the scores from both rounds are tabulated to select the winners.

About the SIIA CODiE™ Awards 

The SIIA CODiE™ Awards, originally called the Excellence in Software Awards, were established in 1986 by the Software Publishers Association (SPA), now the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), so that pioneers of the then-nascent software industry could evaluate and honor each other's work. Since then, the CODiE Awards program has carried out the same purpose - to showcase the software and information industry's finest products and services and to honor excellence in corporate achievement.
