MarkLogic Government Summit
Wednesday, November 18 — Washington, DC

There is a growing recognition in the public sector that some of the most valuable — yet untapped — information is unstructured and semi-structured. Government leaders are therefore widening the focus of information management initiatives to include this type of information which does not fit neatly into rows and columns.

And as officials begin to acknowledge how information consumption has changed, and indeed how the role of the information consumer has changed, professionals from all branches are uniformly more focused than ever on enabling citizens, businesses, and government partners to access, use, and share information within the halls of government just as they do on the “outside.”

The MarkLogic Government Summit will explore these issues from a variety of perspectives. Morning sessions will focus on general trends and challenges of government information management in the current environment. Afternoon track sessions will center on how MarkLogic Server, as a key component of an information infrastructure, is helping government organizations meet critical objectives. Among the many questions this interactive, one-day program will address:

• How information management is evolving given new policy direction and trends in information consumption
• The key technologies and processes that enable information access, sharing and transparency
• An overview of information-centric strategies and how they can maximize current and future investments in government IT architectures
• Case examples and best practices for building and delivering information-centric applications
• How to unlock the value of information, whether or not it fits neatly into rows and columns
