EMC Corporation announced a new generation of its Content Intelligence Services (CIS), EMC Documentum CIS 5.3, an add-on to the EMC Documentum 5.3 platform. EMC Documentum CIS 5.3 offers classification capabilities that can organize content based on information extraction and business rules, and categorize the content for easier navigation. Distributed competence management is a new capability to Documentum CIS 5.3 that enables customers to leverage human competence of individuals in various functions and distribute the categorization responsibilities across departments within an organization to classify content. A built-in role and user interface allows category owners or experts to manually make a classification decision in cases where the automated rules cannot classify the content with sufficient confidence. Documentum CIS 5.3 supports classification of multi-lingual content by enabling content classification in native languages against native taxonomies. Among the new supported languages are English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish. Documentum CIS 5.3 now includes automotive, chemicals, drug and disease, energy, engineering, energy, legislation, financial, healthcare, high tech, military, and pharmaceutical industry taxonomies, and CRM, HR, IT, legal, marketing and other functional taxonomies. It also provides content classification for any text-based content type including documents, Web content, XML, OCRed images and other content types. http://www.emc.com

SchemaLogic released its enterprise metadata and taxonomy management platform – SchemaLogic Enterprise 3.0, with additional interface, integration and customization options. SchemaLogic SchemaServer provides an active metadata repository that drives modeling, mapping and synchronization across disparate enterprise systems. Enriching unstructured information through taxonomic metadata, controlled vocabularies and semantic mapping schema leads to information findability and enterprise-level content integration. SchemaLogic Workshop provides business domain experts and technical data architects the ability to model, rationalize and manage the creation, import/export, and synchronization of metadata models and schemas with other applications and systems. Workshop is the user portal into SchemaServer and SchemaLogic Integrator. SchemaLogic Integrator manages the synchronization of metadata to subscribing systems with adaptors. This integration framework provides adapters that communicate directly with subscribing systems, moving reference data, metadata and controlled vocabularies from SchemaServer’s repository. SchemaLogic offers standard adapters for content management, portal, search, categorization, database, XML schema and other enterprise systems. http://www.schemalogic.com

Siderean Software, Inc. has announced the general availability of its Seamark Navigation Server, a turn-key, enterprise-class navigation capability that permits users to “search the way they think”. Seamark provides IT personnel and information architects the means to pinpoint specific information by integrating various data sources (both structured and unstructured from both inside and outside the enterprise) as a new, dynamic data collection that can be browsed, searched, or queried. It then generates a browsable application that enables users to pinpoint information within that collection. The Web-ready, Seamark-generated application can be used “as is”; refined as necessary for look, feel or function; incorporated into a Web page; or linked to other applications as a Web service. What Seamark does is systematically examine the various data sources to which it is introduced, discovers both the explicit and implicit structure or organization in the data, produces a “metadata” description of its content and characteristics, and then automatically generates a browsable, prototype application based upon that description. Seamark provides interfaces to JDBC, RDF/XML, and RSS. Seamark uses a Web-services model. Client interfaces include RSS, SOAP, and ASP/JSP. It is offered as a standalone platform under Linux, Windows and Solaris. http://www.siderean.com
