Transform your data, unlock potential

Your data shouldn't limit how you innovate and achieve your goals.

Managing data at scale is in our DNA. As the largest global provider of scientific, technical and medical information, Elsevier has been transforming content into usable data for decades. Now with the power of the SciBite suite of semantic solutions, we can work with you to build your data infrastructure and unlock your data potential. This includes applying FAIR data principles, which we helped to co-author and promote.

When unstructured scientific text is transformed into clean, contextualized data, you can feed a range of artificial intelligence applications.

Work with a partner who can help you develop, manage and apply:

• Machine learning and deep learning models
• Text analysis and extraction
• Ontologies, vocabularies and thesauri
• Knowledge graphs
• Semantic enrichment and annotation
