Mayo Clinic to Pilot Collexis' Expert...(o be able to offer the benefitsof this i...),Health

Bill Kirkland, Collexis CEO, commented, "For more than 100 years the Mayo Clinic Libraries has been dedicated to meeting the information needs of its community. It is therefore particularly gratifying to work in partnership with this prestigious institution as it moves towards knowledge discovery tools that utilize the power of semantic technology to find, share and integrate information more easily and effectively."

During the first phase of the Expert Profiles System proof of concept pilot, 10 years of publications authored by 250 of the more than 3,000 Mayo Clinic researchers and clinicians will be "fingerprinted." This semantic profiling process makes use of the structure of a particular field's professional terminology (fundamentally a thesaurus) and embodies the way people understand those terms and concepts. It minimizes superfluous information and allows users to mine data at an intuitive, non-language- specific level. The data extracted will help identify domain experts in specific biomedical disciplines.

The Mayo Clinic Libraries has also opted to utilize Mediator(TM), a SyynX application powered by Collexis. This intuitive software will enable users to search more than 16 million citations and abstracts in the life sciences and clinical medicine utilizing the Collexis Fingerprint and its patented semantic analysis.

The Expert Profiler System project is being carried out in concert with German-based Collexis Development Partner, SyynX Solutions.
