If you look at Dutch content, you would say, well, who cares other than people in the Netherlands, but, in fact, you have South Africa and other countries around the world where the Dutch language is understood. There'll be announcements in that area shortly that I can't really talk about today.

FactLANE adds significant, unique content to the LexisNexis business intelligence product, including NRC Handelsblad and de Volkskrant.]
