March 29, 2016 – New York, USA and Sofia, Bulgaria: Impelsys, a world leader in publishing and learning technology solutions, and Ontotext, an innovation leader in Semantic Technology, today announced the availability of an integrated technology offering that adds new perspectives to content publishing and enables smart content authoring, discovery, repurposing, and monetization for publishers and eLearning providers.

Introducing a semantic layer to Impelsys’ iPublishCentral (Now mon’k) infrastructure with Ontotext GraphDB and Dynamic Semantic Publishing Platform allows publishers and content providers to benefit from semantically enriched metadata at both downstream and upstream of their production workflow and value chain, and turn their content into Smart Content.

The partnership will open the doors to numerous opportunities for both parties to help their customer base of publishers, learning providers, and enterprises to better manage and utilize digital content:

• Impelsys offers its flagship digital content delivery infrastructure, iPublishCentral (Now mon’k), which supports the dissemination of basic PDF/EPUB-based eBooks to complex SCORM-compliant courseware modules. Impelsys’ content engineering and technology services, combined with Ontotext’s powerful semantic capabilities, will bring to market a comprehensive digital content management solution.
• Ontotext, on the other hand, brings to the table GraphDB semantic database and vast experience in Semantic Technology for publishers that help content creators automate their workflows; streamline production, curation and reuse of content leveraging various types of metadata; and provide richer context, relevant content recommendations and advertising to consumers, while significantly expanding its reach in publishing and other key, high-growth markets.

Speaking on the partnership, Sameer Shariff, Founder and CEO of Impelsys, conveyed, “Partnering with Ontotext expands Impelsys’ strategy to deliver a full-stack, end-to-end solution for our publishers and eLearning providers. We are excited about collaborating with Ontotext on their semantic technologies to leverage the full power of our flagship IP, iPublishCentral (Now mon’k), in delivering next-generation, comprehensive read-to-learn solutions for our global customers.”

Atanas Kiryakov, Founder and CEO of Ontotext, said, “Ontotext provides publishers products that solve some of the toughest technology problems: automatic content enrichment, powerful content retrieval, and recommendation. Building a complete Smart Content management solution requires digital asset management infrastructure and services, as those provided by Impelsys. I am happy that we have developed and can now announce our partnership with Impelsys.

Together, Ontotext and Impelsys offer publishers very efficient Smart Content and Metadata solutions with reduced complexity and effort for implementation. Joining hands with Impelsys will help us serve our clients from the beginning of their content creation journeys to the final stage of publishing and delivery. It is a powerful way to leverage semantic metadata enrichment, which leads to better content discoverability, user-tailored content recommendation, and smarter advertising.”
