4. What is Newstin? (Details)
 Newstin is an innovative technology that incorporates a completely new approach to content
organization. Newstin technology and its service-oriented architecture is the foundation of a unique
system that features fully scalable real-time semantic, multi-language and cross-language document
categorization. Newstin patented technology has the potential to become the core platform for
organizing any unstructured textual data, including data from all sources on the Internet and potentially
including the hidden Web.
 Newstin is a powerful engine which harnesses a variety of cutting-edge technologies and implements
linguistic processing with semantic analysis, multilevel content categorization and cross-language
taxonomy structures. The applications of Newstin technology utilize an inherent capability to make use
of context in addition to conventional key word approaches.
 Newstin is the largest news database/catalogue in the world currently comprising 40 Million documents
& 2.2 Billion metadata items and constantly growing. Newstin article collection is continuously updated
from over 160,000 global and weighted sources selected from a pool of over 3 Million preprocessed
sources in 12 languages. Daily up to 200,000+ articles are fully processed into 1.1 Million categories in 15
supported editions: US, UK, Indian, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mexican, Portuguese, Brazilian,
Czech, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Korean; with more languages and editions coming soon.
 Newstin is a complex system incorporating content retrieval, metadata processing, analysis and
visualization. The extensive operation behind Newstin makes it a perfect platform for SaaS solutions.
 Newstin is a bi-directional application of its own. By imposing order on unstructured data Newstin
leverages its own extensive metadata collection for business intelligence and enterprise performance
management. It is inevitable to organize content first to maximize knowledge mining capability.
