ZyLAB wins European tender to supply OLAF with
comprehensive multilingual text-mining and records management application
January 13, 2006 -Vienna - ZyLAB, an innovative
developer of Information Access Solutions, today announced that
it has signed a deal with the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF)
to be its exclusive provider of multilingual text-mining and records
management technologies.
OLAF required a fully integrated record management application
(RMA), as well as the ability to conduct sophisticated linguistic
analysis of electronic documents ("text mining"). The
ZyLAB installation meets these goals and more by enabling OLAF to
perform advanced investigative techniques such as full-text searches;
named entity recognition; manual, semi-automated and automated taxonomy
creation: document clustering; information extraction; and visualization
of document properties, clusters and extracted entities and facts.
Based on technologies developed by ZyLAB and Inxight Software,
the comprehensive software solution ZyLAB will implement for OLAF
fully supports a wide range of languages including Greek, Hungarian,
Polish, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German,
Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Russian.
Overall, this unique solution contains the most advanced technology
available for handling large-scale fraud and criminal investigations
while not compromising European privacy and data protection acts.
About OLAF
The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) was created by Commission
Decision 1999/352/CE. OLAF is charged with protecting the financial
and other interests of the Community against fraud and irregular
conduct in respect to both the income and expenditure of the Communities,
wherever this may have occurred.
The mission of the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is to protect
the interests of the European Union, to fight fraud, corruption
and any other irregular activity, including misconduct within the
European Institutions. In pursuing this mission in an accountable,
transparent and cost-effective manner, OLAF aims to provide a quality
service to the citizens of Europe.
OLAF achieves its mission by conducting, in full independence, internal
and external investigations. It also organizes close and regular
co-operation between the competent authorities of the Member States
in order to co-ordinate their activities. OLAF supplies Member States
with the necessary support and technical know-how to help them in
their anti-fraud activities. It contributes to the design of the
anti-fraud strategy of the European Union and takes the necessary
initiatives to strengthen the relevant legislation.
OLAF activities will be carried out with integrity, impartiality
and professionalism, and will, at all times, respect the rights
and freedoms of individuals and be fully consistent with the law.
