Montreal, May 22^nd, 2003 - Nstein Technologies Inc., (TSX-V: EIN) the leader in providing structured content management solutions, announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with BIOSIS, the world's largest life sciences abstracting and indexing service. Through this agreement, Nstein will use the intelligence of BIOSIS indexing to provide Ncategorizer^TM and Nfinder^TM software designed specifically for the biological, pharmaceutical, and biomedical markets.

“Once again Nstein has paired its unique linguistic processing technology with an extensive, industry-respected resource, this time, in the increasingly important life sciences field,” says Randy Marcinko, Nstein’s president. Continues Marcinko, “Our work with BIOSIS gives us the opportunity to combine our respective expertise and create new products that support automated indexing and retrieval based on the world’s most comprehensive collection of life sciences information. We are excited by the opportunities to take these products into the medical, pharmaceutical, bio-tech, patent/intellectual property and research markets. Nstein has customers ready to apply this new technology.”

This powerful combination of Nstein technology and BIOSIS content gives users the opportunity to incorporate BIOSIS’ subject expertise directly into their own information collections. By using this new version of Nstein’s categorization and entity extraction software which has been enhanced with BIOSIS indexing, it is now possible for users to move seamlessly from a search on their own collections to one on the world renowned BIOSIS Previews.

Linda Sacks, Senior Vice President, Product Development and Marketing at BIOSIS says “BIOSIS databases are the most complete resource for finding life sciences information. Nstein’s sophisticated linguistic technology enables us to create new products that enhance BIOSIS’ offerings. Continues Sacks, “These products will allow users to take advantage of BIOSIS’ investment in life sciences knowledge management to reduce costs and improve results for their information management and retrieval activities.”

Nstein will incorporate the BIOSIS’ taxonomy of biological categories into its Ncategorizer software for use in organizing the information collections of drug companies, bio-tech firms, government research and patenting agencies, and other organizations conducting life sciences research.

The extensive BIOSIS authority files will be incorporated into Nstein’s growing line of Nfinder^TM software cartridges, allowing users to automatically identify, label, and extract the names of organisms, diseases, chemicals, pharmaceutical ingredients, and other key life sciences information.

It will be possible to combine these new indexing tools with Nstein’s retrieval and navigation software to build direct links to the BIOSIS database of biological literature and beyond.
