Wednesday, November 18, 2009:

8:00am — 9:00am	Breakfast/Registration
9:00am — 9:05am	Welcome Tracy Eiler MarkLogic
9:05am — 9:35am	Randall Jackson MarkLogic
9:35am — 10:05am	Creating Sustainable Information-Sharing and Collaboration Environments-A DoD Perspective Martin Gross Defense Information Systems Agency Creating Sustainable Information-Sharing and Collaboration Environments-A DoD Perspective Few organizations have a greater mandate than the Department of Defense to enable effective information sharing to meet mission requirements with reliable performance, security, and resiliency. Learn how DISA is managing its portfolio of programs and projects that combine to deliver net-centric enterprise information sharing services around the globe every day. Understand the challenges-from headquarters to the field-to ensuring the right information is available to decision makers when it is most critical. And take away a greater understanding of the technical, program, and acquisition considerations that are required to create and sustain effective collaboration environments.
10:05am — 10:45am	Enabling Essential Information-Sharing Dr. G Clark Smith Executive for Programs and Technology, Office of the Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) Enabling Essential Information-Sharing There are countless opportunities (and obstacles) to designing and implementing effective information sharing solutions that involve multiple agency enterprise architectures, technology preferences, processes, cultures, not to mention the management of classified and unclassified information. Learn how the Federal Government is cooperating to streamline cross-boundary information exchange, including what has been readily accomplished, and the continuing hurdles to overcome. Learn how to begin, evaluate practical options for collaboration, develop standards for mutli-agency participation, and when to navigate away from or around resistant organizational cultures and traditional information stovepipes. Expand your knowledge about how to use mission focus and common operating rules to achieve meaningful decision-support programs.
10:45am — 11:00am	Break
11:00am — 11:45am	Outcome-Based Information Management Mike Daconta Accelerated Information Management, LLC Outcome-Based Information Management Many government organizations understand the importance of information management, but do not understand where to start their efforts and how those efforts will pay off in the long run. A few organizations even begin doing data management “stuff” before they understand the critical factors necessary for success. Learn how to avoid the mistakes of early information management adopters by crafting an outcome-based information management program instead of an “activity-based” program. By examining real use cases from the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense and other agencies, you will learn how to craft information management outcomes; how to measure those outcomes; how to work backwards from outcomes to activities to resources in order to effectively plan your roadmap; and finally, how to focus and accelerate your information management processes for greater efficiency and efficacy in achieving business outcomes.
11:45am — 12:15pm	Enabling Global Information Discovery Using the NCES Enterprise Catalog Dave Lemen Search Solutions Architect Enabling Global Information Discovery Using the NCES Enterprise Catalog The Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Enterprise Catalog plays an important role in making DoD information visible on the Global Information Grid. The catalog supports precision search against full-text, as well as geospatial, temporal, subject, and bibliographic metadata, and demonstrates the benefit of adopting the DoD Discovery Metadata Standard (DDMS). The deployment of a new catalog architecture based on the MarkLogic Server this year offers a case study that will be useful to program managers, information managers, and search tool developers who want to maximize the discoverability of their resources.
12:15pm — 1:15pm	Lunch
	Track A - Technology	Track B - Applications
1:15pm — 1:55pm	Introduction to MarkLogic Products Kelly Stirman MarkLogic University Introduction to MarkLogic Products MarkLogic has an expanding set of products, connectors and toolkits designed to help government organizations exploit their data through information-centric applications. In this session, we will review the MarkLogic products and how they are being used to deliver new and innovative solutions within the government.	Building a robust, high-performance ingest and storage framework for rapidly evolving battlefield exploitation data Guy Filippelli Berico Building a robust, high-performance ingest and storage framework for rapidly evolving battlefield exploitation data This session will explain how and why Berico is using MarkLogic to power a next-generation system to ingest, analyze, present, and alert on the rapidly-evolving nature of exploitation data in current conflict zones. The presentation will begin with the major forces that are shaping current and future military intelligence requirements and capabilities, discuss the potential for MarkLogic to reinforce key large-system government initiatives, and highlight key lessons learned on the agile road to delivering capability to the warfighter.
2:00pm — 2:40pm	Technology Deep Dive: Geospatial and Alerting features in MarkLogic Server Chris Biow MarkLogic Technology Deep Dive: Geospatial and Alerting features in MarkLogic Server This session will provide a detailed technical review of MarkLogic Server's geospatial and alerting capabilties, and how to use these capabilities to exploit government data. MarkLogic Server includes advanced indexing which enables it to exploit geospatial data and monitor incoming data.	A Scalable XML approach to Records Archive Metadata Betty Harvey ECC, Inc. A Scalable XML approach to Records Archive Metadata This presentation will provide an understanding of how the MarkLogic Server will be used to store metadata related to assets ingested into the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) Electronic Records Archives (ERA) project.
2:40pm — 3:00pm	Break
3:00pm — 3:40pm	Rapid Application Development with Application Services Justin Makeig MarkLogic Colleen Whitney MarkLogic Rapid Application Development with Application Services MarkLogic has always provided powerful APIs for developing applications. With our newest product, Application Services, product developers can create new applications even faster. In this session we will take a deeper look at how these new capabilities can be exploited by government agencies.	E-Space: A Real World Case Study of a MarkLogic Implementation Patrick Wall Booz Allen Hamilton E-Space: A Real World Case Study of a MarkLogic Implementation MarkLogic Server was brought in to this key DoD program to enhance existing technologies and provide additional agility in managing large volumes of XML data. In this session, we will discuss our use of MarkLogic Server and taking advantage of evolving platform features to deliver additional value for clients.
3:45pm — 4:25pm	IT Speed & Agility: How Government Can Benefit from Cloud Computing Chris Biow Federal CTO Denise Miura Product Management IT Speed & Agility: How Government Can Benefit from Cloud Computing In the private sector, cloud architecture has already helped many organizations cut costs and improve IT agility, and these benefits are now beginning to be adopted in the government sector. In this session we will investigate some of the different technologies that are commonly lumped together under the term "Cloud." We will also discuss MarkLogic’s cloud computing strategy and what it means for government organizations.	Moving from Paper to Awareness: How to Discover What You Didn’t Know About Your Historic Paper Documents John Holshey ENSCO Moving from Paper to Awareness: How to Discover What You Didn’t Know About Your Historic Paper Documents Many organizations’ history is preserved in libraries of paper and microfiche documents. Many of these organizations are unable to mine these collections for critical information they need for today’s problems and don’t understand the relationships within the content of these historic documents. This presentation will describe a MarkLogic-based solution to maximize the value of old, hard-copy document collections utilizing deep content analysis. It will also summarize steps required and the lessons learned in transitioning paper and microfiche documents into rich, searchable content, and visualizing the results.
4:30pm — 6:00pm	Reception
