Dec 28, 2006
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) - Linguamatics and BioWisdom said last week that Bayer Healthcare has extended a license to a joint solution built upon Linguamatics' I2E text-mining software and BioWisdom taxonomies.
 
Bayer’s Scientific Information and Documentation team uses I2E to “solve a diverse range of knowledge discovery problems across the business,” Linguamatics and BioWisdom said.
 
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
 
“We recognize the value that text mining with high quality taxonomies can bring to solving our business problems", said Wolfgang Thielemann, head of document retrieval at Bayer Healthcare, in a statement.
