People's Republic of China Ministry of Agriculture Selects Verity K2 Enterprise

Search and Classification Software to Improve Identification of Foreign Trade Opportunities

SUNNYVALE, Calif - 2004-07-13 - Verity Inc. (NASDAQ: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that enables organizations to maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment, today announced that the International Trade Promotion Council of the People's Republic of China Ministry of Agriculture has selected Verity® K2 Enterprise (K2E) advanced search and classification software for use on its Internet Web site.

The International Trade Promotion Council is responsible for bringing together corporations in China and around the world to facilitate relationships and trade in agriculture. To do its job more effectively, the Council needed to be able to quickly and easily access the information on its Web site.

After a review of available software options, the Council chose Verity K2 Enterprise. "We found the search and classification capabilities of K2E to be very impressive. The software is able to serve our needs now and will meet our growing business requirements," said Hong Yang, the International Trade Promotion Council's deputy secretary general. "In addition, the Unicode Locale feature of the Verity software will allow for spidering and searching of content in both Chinese and English."

Verity's K2E will also be used by the Council to crawl through content dealing with agricultural matters on public Web sites operated by other countries, the United Nations and within China, and to index that information for quick, accurate search. Two sets of customer-defined taxonomies will be created, in Chinese and English, to organize collections of potential import-export agricultural products and trade opportunities for the Council.

"The implementation of Verity K2E will allow the International Trade Promotion Council of the Ministry of Agriculture to make better use of information to aid its efforts to foster international agricultural trade," said Hugo Sluimer, Verity's senior vice president of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) operations. "Verity is proud to be a part of this important initiative, and we are confident that Verity K2 Enterprise software will help the Council maximize the value of its intellectual capital."
