Semantico, a leading provider of services and technology for online publishing, has recently used their new SIPP2 product to power a revised version of BrillOnline for reference works and bibliographies. Brill is an international publishing house based in the Netherlands, specialising in humanities, international law and sciences.
SIPP2 is the brand new version of Semantico’s industry-leading software. SIPP2 is a blazingly fast, elegant and intelligent solution designed to give publishers and information providers an unrivalled level of control over digital content and get maximum value from their publishing programmes.
Brill and Semantico have had a long-standing and successful professional relationship since the launch of Brill Reference Works Online in October 2005, which has enjoyed a healthy growth in subscriptions and product offerings over the past five years. As part of their ongoing commitment to excellence Brill initiated the revised interface for BrillOnline to further enhance user experience and discoverability of content using SIPP2.
Sam Bruinsma, Vice-President Business Development and Electronic Publishing at Brill said: “We’re very excited to be launching our improved online service: BrillOnline Reference Works and BrillOnline Bibliographies. Customer satisfaction is of paramount importance to Brill, and the impressive and improved operational speed of the site will have a positive impact on this.”
Richard Padley, Managing Director of Semantico commented: “We are proud to launch SIPP2 for BrillOnline Reference Works. Our expert team of developers and programmers have worked tirelessly to create, develop and test this product, and we’re delighted to see this go live.

Antibodypedia, an open-access database for commercially available antibodies, has recently re-launched with a new website. Semantico re-architectured and redesigned the site, following the brief from Nature Publishing Group and the Antibodypedia company.
The new site is a collaborative project between Nature Publishing Group and Antibodypedia and is to be a trusted, high quality online resource for the consultation and deposition of antibody validation data for the scientific community. The site will seamlessly integrate and provide links between branded nature.com and Antibodypedia pages.
Semantico were responsible for the redesign of the co-branded site. Features of the updated site include:
Enhanced user experience
Re-brand, with a new look and feel to the site
Easy transition from nature.com pages to Antibodypedia search result pages and entries
Integration of advertisement on Antibodypedia pages
User-friendly submission of user-generated validation data
User-friendly submission system for antibody vendors
“A site like Antibodypedia has to be intuitively easy to use as scientists have little patience for anything that doesn’t work efficiently” said Christopher Surridge, Chief Editor and Associate Publisher of Nature Protocols. “The new site is a considerable improvement on what had gone before and manages to be visually arresting and supremely functional.”
Richard Padley, Managing Director, Semantico said: “It’s good to see the new Antibodypedia site launch. Working with Nature Publishing Group and Antibodypedia has been a great experience, and it’s professionally fulfilling to see such a positive outcome to a high profile project. We look forward to working with both parties in the future.”

Following on from his successful appearance at STM, London recently, Richard Padley, Semantico’s Managing Director, has been asked to participate in a round-table discussion at APE 2012. The topic in question will be the semantic web.
The APE Conference next year will be held in Berlin at the Brandenburg Academy of Sciences. The conference aims to promote understanding and communication in the world of academic publishing. APE Conferences are forums for discussion and encourage an open-minded policy where participants can experience a lively exchange of opinions in a convivial atmosphere.
Richard’s recent semantic web presentation at STM proved to be a popular, if controversial one; prompting some contrary and passionate views from other delegates. He is hoping for a similar thought-provoking response from APE participants.
This one looks set to run and run. Watch this space!
