If your application manages rich XML, it should be built on MarkLogic Server. No other technology makes working with XML as easy as MarkLogic.

MarkLogic Server provides a scalable repository for content with full update and transactional integrity. In addition, MarkLogic includes full text and structured search on your XML elements and provides the flexibility to dynamically deliver the components of your content at the level of granularity you need.

Improve your time to market for new applications with native integration over HTTP, .NET, and Java, and with an open source community extending your application with capabilities with connectors for Perl, PHP, Ruby, and other languages.

Repository

Reliably store XML content including text, images, video, audio and underlying metadata, in a transactional, scalable repository designed for the most demanding deployments. With the ability to incorporate XML from multiple schemas and extend those schemas as needed, MarkLogic provides a single repository with a universal index that incorporates the text and structure of all documents. MarkLogic is designed to support your enterprise-level requirements, including online backup, restore, cluster expansion, and failover. Really Strategies is an example of a company that has leveraged MarkLogic Server. They have built RSuite CMS, a content management system for publishers, based on MarkLogic.

Search and Retrieval

Combining full-text, structured, and parametric search, Mark Logic provides a unique capability that leverages automatic indexing of all text and structure and is scalable to billions of documents. New and updated content, including extensions to the structure such as new elements, attributes, and tags, is instantly searchable without requiring you to re-index your existing corpus.

Examples of customers leveraging Mark Logic’s search and retrieval capabilities in their application include Nerac, who is using MarkLogic to power its application for scientific and technical innovation and Bowker, who has integrated the Medialabs AquaBrowser with MarkLogic.

Application Platform

Application developers use Mark Logic to both rapidly create new web-ready content applications and easily integrate with other web-based solutions. Leveraging the industry’s most complete implementation of the XQuery standard, Mark Logic reduces development time by removing the burden of translating content across data formats and application tiers. Application developers work with XML content in a consistent format from start to finish, simplifying content handling and application architecture and accelerating time to market.

Mark Logic's HTTP and XML support means it is ideal for integrating with web based applications and their XML APIs including SOAP, REST, and others. This allows developers to easily work with today’s web 2.0 platforms such as Facebook and various Google applications, enabling developers to quickly integrate with third party applications and use them as content sources, delivery platforms, or services.

Faceted Navigation

Application developers rely on MarkLogic’s advanced navigation capabilities to guide users directly to the information they need by letting them refine searches based on metadata, entities, or any piece of markup in their documents. By organizing content around categories or taxonomies, users can navigate through your content to find what they are looking for. Learn more about MarkLogic’s faceted navigation capabilities.

XML Classification

Mark Logic’s patented classifier considers both structure and text to automatically categorize content. After training the system with sample documents for each category, MarkLogic enables you to take unstructured text and quickly and efficiently group similar documents. Using precisely the pieces of your documents that are most effective for classification, the XML classifier accurately tags information at any level of granularity.

Content Analytics

Provide rich analytics on your content, including frequency for a broad range of document details, such as word counts, citations, tables, images, etc., as well as XML structure analysis including element and attribute values. Develop sophisticated visualization using Flex, SilverLight, SVG, Java, and other technologies with MarkLogic providing XML responses in precisely the format needed for your preferred visualization technology. Combine full text search, metadata filtering, and any number of dimensions to deliver actionable intelligence through your application. OpenConnect leverages MarkLogic to power Comprehend, its business process analytics application.

Content Integration

Integrate content from multiple document formats and multiple XML schemas into your application. Provide any level of granular access to content that is defined at query time, not as a static configuration. MarkLogic automatically converts a wide range of formats including PDF and Microsoft Office 97 – 2003, into XML, and also provides native support for XML formats from Microsoft Office2007 and OpenOffice (ODF).
