Academic publisher Brill, Netherlands, and UK-based online publishing services provider Semantico Ltd have been shortlisted for a British Media Award based on the features and functionality of the new BrillOnline Reference Works platform. With the help of Semantico’s SIPP2 technology, Brill is now able to offer a more flexible research platform to institutions and end users alike.
The companies have been nominated for an award in the B2B Innovator of the Year category. The award entry was for BrillOnline Reference Works using Semantico's SIPP2 publishing platform. The British Media Awards celebrate innovation from companies, organisations or individuals.
BrillOnline aims to offer users the best of today’s functionality and features in online publishing. In order to generate the optimal user experience, the content is clustered according to its nature and to the functionality required and presented on three platforms - booksandjournals.brillonline.com for electronic books and journals; referenceworks.brillonline.com for online reference works; and bibliographies.brillonline.com for online bibliographies.
The BrillOnline project showcases the best from Brill and Semantico. BrillOnline Reference Works is now a faster, more efficient website that provides users with enhanced discoverability of Brill's online content, and since the launch in January 2012, the site has seen a major increase in traffic.
