The leading French newspaper increases commitment to digital strategy by licensing
Luxid® semantic content enrichment platform to interconnect publication ecosystem.
Paris, France – June 13th
, 2013 – TEMIS, the leading provider of Semantic Content Enrichment
solutions for the Enterprise, today announced it has signed a major license and services agreement
with the leading newspaper Les Echos.
Producing media services focused on economics and finance, arts and culture, and enterprise
services, Les Echos have witnessed in recent years a steady shift in the source of their revenues, from
decades of print products to more recently a significant and growing share from sales of online
content. Les Echos have been a longtime leader in an industry undergoing fundamental changes
including the exponential growth of free content, the decline of print, the rise of the tablet and the
emergence of a "Web of data". In order to accelerate its digital business development, the group
wants to capitalize on its editorial content, creating a series of innovative products and services for
new audiences.
To achieve their product development objectives, Les Echos have chosen to deploy Luxid®, the
semantic content enrichment platform by TEMIS. Luxid® will enable Les Echos to structure all of the
unstructured content published by their various editorial teams (Les Echos, Investir, Enjeux Les
Echos, Business). Further, Luxid® will make it possible for the group to easily link similar or related
content, make them interoperable by complying with the semantic web standards, and connect them
to proprietary or open-source knowledge bases. Semantic metadata produced by Luxid® also will help
optimize publication systems and create new offerings.
"TEMIS solutions will allow us to deploy a full-scale semantic approach, within all the products of the
group and autonomously", said Frédéric Filloux, General Manager in charge of digital activities at Les
Echos. "Furthermore, TEMIS will extend us the benefit of the experience they´ve acquired with
economic and financial content. Lastly, Luxid® is an evolutive solution that enables the integration of
open source knowledge bases with international standards such as IPTC. These are key benefits in a
fast–moving digital environment where enriching content with semantic metadata has become an
essential step in bringing out its full value."
"We are delighted that Les Echos have chosen TEMIS to assist their team in this digital shift", said
Vincent Nibart, Sales Director – Publishing France, TEMIS. "TEMIS is renowned in the publishing
sector for its know-how in semantic content enrichment and recently took a leap forward in terms of
projects in the press sector thanks to major projects conducted with Gannett (USA Today) and Agence
France Presse."
Based on patented and award–winning Natural Language Processing technologies, Luxid® exploits
off-the-shelf extractors called Skill Cartridges® to extract targeted information from unstructured
content and semantically enrich it with domain–specific metadata. This enables professional
publishers to efficiently package and deliver relevant information to their audience, and helps
enterprises to intelligently archive, manage, analyze, discover and share increasing volumes of
information.
