TEMIS, a US-based provider of Semantic Content Enrichment Solutions for the Enterprise, has signed a major license and services agreement with SOQUIJ, a legal publisher attached to the Quebec Ministry of Justice.
In order to enhance access and the navigation experience for its users, while processing an increasing number of court decisions, SOQUIJ wanted to revamp its content management workflow. Its main objectives were to automate the hyper-linking and cross-referencing of jurisprudence, legislation, laws or bodies of laws, and legal doctrines; automatically feed legal knowledge bases; create an open and scalable extraction system, based on easy-to-maintain and reusable components while simultaneously offering a development environment; process its legacy content to enrich it with hyperlinks; and reduce editorial costs while increasing volume of content processed.
Following a call for tender in 2011, SOQUIJ selected TEMIS’ semantic content enrichment solution, Luxid, to achieve its objectives. The Luxid for Content Enrichment platform, with its Skill Cartridge system, enables the extraction of precise information while processing huge volumes of text, integrating seamlessly with the publisher's editorial system.
Specifically to meet the requirements of this key government office, TEMIS developed a powerful extraction module that identifies references to jurisprudence, legislation, and legal doctrines. The development of this component and the quality assessment of its results were successfully performed using the productivity tools available in the Luxid platform.
SOQUIJ will use this solution to enrich more than 100,000 legal decisions in Quebec every year as well as its entire collection of legacy content, a total of one million documents including summaries, full texts and legal doctrine.
