Leading Electronic Publisher Expands Use of Verity
SUNNYVALE, CA. - 2000-03-22 - The Institute of Physics Publishing (IOPP), a world leader in electronic publishing, and Verity (Nasdaq: VRTY) today announced a significant extension to their technology partnership. IOPP will expand its use of Verity Information Server from the successful Axiom online research site to provide advanced search and retrieval capabilities for its large portfolio of online research journals. The Verity technology will also be used to set up an in-house knowledge management system.
Under the partnership, IOPP will extend its use of Verity Information Server to provide the core search technology for the flagship Electronic Journals service, which provides access to over 100,000 articles from 32 of the Institute's research journals, with full text articles dating back to 1991. Subscribers will also be able to use Verity to search new and existing products based on the Electronic Journals platform, including Physics Express letters, a searchable database of over 9,000 letters and rapid communications published in 13 IOPP journals.
IOPP also plans to use Verity Information Server in the development of an advanced knowledge management system on the company's corporate intranet. The knowledge management system will enable IOPP employees to find business-critical information online including department specific documents, profiles of current staff, personnel and human resources references and technical information concerning the online services.
"We were keen to extend our relationship with Verity as the company provides the best technology for searching large, complex data sets in our feature-rich products," commented Lloyd Fletcher, manager, Enterprise Application Development at IOPP. "We have already used Verity Information Server in our Axiom online research service, which has proved to be very successful. The use of Information Server is a key component of our current programme to re-engineer our Electronic Journals as the product's flexibility allows us to meet the search needs of a diverse set of users across different services."
Verity Information Server is a powerful tool for precise information retrieval across large volumes of data. It uses automatic, server-based query expansion to turn user requests into detailed, sophisticated queries. The technology enables users to narrow their searches quickly and obtain relevant information from their results, while advanced navigation methods include filtering, relevancy ranking, clustering of related documents, automated document summarisation and query-by-example
"We are pleased to be able to continue our successful relationship with IOPP," commented Simon Atkinson, managing director, Verity UK. "IOPP has recognised that Verity is in a strong position to help their subscribers find information quickly and with minimum effort and we look forward to continuing to help them improve and extend their services."
