COLUMBIA, S.C., Feb 03, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- CLXS | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Collexis Holdings Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CLXS), a leading developer of semantic search and knowledge discovery software, announced today that Johns Hopkins University (JHU) has put the institution's Collexis Expertise Portal online ( http://www.institutionaldashboard.collexis.com/jhu ). The portal is a public website where individuals can search, sort, or view compiled views of the research conducted by JHU and its faculty.

"Collexis' technology is adding significant support to the way Johns Hopkins collects internal and external information and shares it among key researchers, alumni, donors, collaborators and corporate sponsors," said Bill Kirkland, Chief Executive Officer of Collexis. "Traditional online resume or expert directories require researchers to input and update their own information. Our experience is that these systems are incomplete, and the material they do include is often not updated. Collexis, however, builds profiles for each Johns Hopkins researcher automatically. When a researcher has a new paper published, the system updates their profile overnight - meaning our information stays current."

The Collexis approach has become popular with research intensive institutions like the National Institutes of Health that want to have a complete system to identify potential partnerships, translational research projects, or other unique connections between research experts.

To date, most institutions have limited their systems to internal collaborations. Johns Hopkins University has elected to give public access to help promote relationships and translational research with other partnering institutions in the public and private sector. JHU has also contracted with Collexis for an ongoing search engine optimization project designed to make Johns Hopkins researchers more widely read and identified online through search engines like Yahoo, Microsoft, and Google.
