Montreal, Canada – July 17, 2012 – TEMIS, leading international provider of semantic content enrichment solutions, today announced it has signed a major license and services agreement with CAIJ, Quebec legal information access center.
Created in 2001 and one of the largest data providers of its kind in North America, CAIJ supplies members of Quebec’s Bar and Judiciary fast and efficient online access to legal information, saving time, effort and fees associated with legal research.
The largest legal information provider in Quebec, CAIJ serves 25,000 members and runs a network of 39 law libraries located in courts throughout the province. CAIJ also provides a range of online search tools - the JuriBistroTM Suite - for instantaneous access to more than one million digital resources in legislation, case law and legal literature.
In order to make its search solutions more effective and relevant for its professional user base, CAIJ has chosen to embed Luxid®, TEMIS semantic content enrichment platform, at the core of its information system.
Luxid® has the capability of identifying hundreds of different kinds of “entities” (people, locations, organizations, etc.) in a document, including complex case law references, making them available to users through CAIJ new search tool: JuriBistroTM eQuantum.
Judges, attorneys and other legal professionals using JuriBistroTM eQuantum can research, filter and navigate within search results according to relevant domain-specific criteria.
