  • Technology Development

    OBSERVA incorporates the latest natural language processing techniques, semantic web and machine learning for retrieval, extraction and intelligent classification of information.
    It provides abstracts, respecting original sources because it only stores the necessary data and links to perform efficient searches and access to information.
