Knowledge Management

    Knowledge management systems organize and categorize specific information for easy access by relevant users. Organizations such as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Department of Defense use knowledge management applications to collect and manage massive amounts of information and transform that information into usable “knowledge”.

    Discover how to implement MarkLogic Server to create knowledge management applications.



    MarkLogic Server provides a new and more powerful foundation for building knowledge management applications. With MarkLogic Server, organizations now have more sophisticated content mining capabilities that enable them to meet a wider range of knowledge management needs. For example, with MarkLogic, a company can implement a knowledge management application for fine-grained contextual search to discover relevant information faster and with more precision than a search engine. MarkLogic lets people find the specific information they need, not just thousands of related links. A health official can find the most relevant paragraph in a document that describes a rare drug side effect. A publisher can check for plagiarism by finding similar chapters and footnotes across thousands of books and journals.

    “Ironically, I think KM systems often fail because people try to build them using KM software. I believe that KM is simply another content application and that content applications are best built on XML content servers. Perhaps the best way to do knowledge management is not to purchase knowledge management software, but to build a content application on an XML content server instead.” - Dave Kellogg, CEO of MarkLogic Corporation

    Some knowledge management systems require that content be reformatted, structured, and tagged before it can be used. Most organizations cannot afford the time or cost of these projects, but MarkLogic requires no such effort. MarkLogic loads files in multiple formats without any manipulation, and the powerful XQuery engine returns precise results without preprocessing.
