Yewno's Discover technology fuels next-generation research and learning
 |
REDWOOD CITY, California, and BELLINGHAM, Washington, USA — Yewno, a new technology powering knowledge discovery, announced today that it has ingested its 100 millionth content asset. Yewno enhances human learning and understanding by extracting and connecting concepts from vast volumes of content and data. The content within Yewno’s education product Discover covers a broad range of academically relevant subject fields and formats including scholarly and trade journal and book content, Open Access and Open Educational Resources, quality web sources and data sets, and institutional repositories.
New content partners providing publications to Yewno include Gale, a Cengage Company; SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics; the American Medical Association; Stanford University Press; and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
“We are pleased with achieving this significant milestone so quickly and continue to accelerate towards the next milestone,” commented Yewno’s CEO and founder, Ruggero Gramatica, “We are committed to the continued growth of our content base. Each new asset dynamically grows the technology’s network of connected concepts and enhances the discovery and learning experience of our researcher, teacher, and student users.”
Eric Pepper, SPIE Director of Publications, noted that “SPIE strives to enable researchers and students in science and engineering to find and use the optics and photonics research we publish that is pertinent to their work. The Yewno research tools offer impressive new ways to discover this information. In addition, librarians at institutions that subscribe to the SPIE Digital Library were eager to have the SPIE content in the Yewno corpus and we are happy to support this activity.”
“Collaboration with prestigious organizations like OECD, Gale, AMA, SPIE, and SUP makes the high quality and incredible breadth of Yewno Discover’s connections possible,” Ruggero said. “Our goal is to continue to partner with publishers and content curators to enhance the research value of our products.”
