(Los Angeles) May 6, 2008 -- Cognition Technologies (www.cognition.com), the creator of Cognition's Semantic NLP^TM, the most advanced and complete semantic natural language processing technology on the market, announced that it has been honored by KMWorld^TM Magazine as one of the "100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management" for 2008.

Every year since 2000, KMWorld Magazine has researched the marketplace for technologies which enhance, improve and expand the ability for users to derive more value and understanding from their respective knowledge bases.

"It's an honor to be recognized by KMWorld as one of the 100 Companies that Matter in Knowledge Management because it validates our commitment to bringing the best Semantic Natural Language Processing technology to our customers," said Scott Jarus, CEO of Cognition Technologies. "Semantic NLP is becoming a major component in content and knowledge management, and is a requirement for those technologies which wish to participate in Web 3.0 -- the Semantic Web."

The underlying technology behind Cognition's Semantic NLP has been in development for more than 20 years. Leveraging computational linguistic science, Cognition has built a technology which has, in essence, enabled computers to understand the English language. This translates into enhanced capabilities for applications which can then deliver more functionality, a better user experience and new business opportunities.

"We have long held that the true essence of knowledge management is an attitude, a single-minded commitment to improvement. And companies on our list simply must emphasize an abiding determination to serve their most important constituency: their customers. They must also show agile innovation combined with a full understanding of the forces that affect, and will affect, their customers," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld Editor-in-Chief.

Cognition's Semantic Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies add word and phrase meaning and understanding to computer applications, providing a technology and/or end-user with actionable content based upon a semantic knowledge of the language. This understanding results in simultaneously much higher precision and recall of salient data within the universe of possible results. Cognition's Semantic NLPTM makes technologies and applications more human-like in their understanding of language, thereby resulting in more robust applications, greater user satisfaction and new capabilities available for exploitation. On the Web in particular, powering applications with Cognition's semantic understanding technology drives these applications ever closer to Web 3.0 (the semantic Web).
