MarkLogic Server

Defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies collect a tremendous volume of raw data. For these agencies, the fast, accurate analysis of this raw data to produce actionable intelligence is vital to their national security missions. With the increasing ow of textual content emails, eld reports, immigration records, open source content streams, Web content, and the like government agencies are forced to reevaluate their analysis strategies. What may have worked before is no longer viable. Solutions based on open, industry-standard XML technologies are providing more powerful ways to integrate, discover, analyze, and share actionable intelligence. Load content as is without predened DTDs or XML schemas Automatic conversion to XML makes shredding or chunking documents a thing of the past by eliminating the time-consuming and costly rst step most organizations experience when attempting to format, load, and process content. MarkLogic Server loads XML content as is and converts popular document formats including Microsoft Ofce, HTML and Adobe PDF into structured XML all without requiring adherence to predened DTDs or schemas. In addition, MarkLogic Server is compatible with content archiving and interchange initiatives such as the Intelligence Community Metadata Working Group (ICMWG) and the Department of Defense Discovery Metadata Standard (DDMS), enabling full compliance with cross-agency standards for content integration and sharing. Create powerful, custom content processing pipelines Using the built-in Content Processing Framework, MarkLogic Server lets organizations dene sequences of content processing steps and seamlessly incorporate functions such as document categorization, entity extraction, or linguistic analysis. MarkLogic Server can execute sequences of native XQuery statements plus call out to Web services-enabled external applications within the content processing ow. Support mission-critical, multi-terabyte contentbases Robust, enterprise-class capabilities allow government organizations to condently deploy MarkLogic Server for their most mission-critical content assets. MarkLogic Server features high availability, error recovery, and cluster monitoring as well as a comprehensive administrator interface. analysis solution. Use XQuery to perform detailed, highly precise queries and content processing tasks that leverage all XML structural elements, with or without a formal DTD or XML schema. MarkLogic Server delivers millisecond response times against terabyte-scale contentbases.

Find actionable intelligence within massive content sets

MarkLogic Server is the backbone of a powerful content integration, discovery, and analysis system that takes full advantage of XML content through the exibility of XQuery. Designed and built to enterprise architecture standards, MarkLogic Server enables the seamless integration of COTS and custom analysis tools such as entity extractors, classiers, and language analyzers to enrich content with new, vital information without incurring the time and cost typically associated with multi-vendor product integration. MarkLogic Server can easily handle multi-terabyte content sets.

The industrys leading XML content server

MarkLogic Server is the industrys most complete and powerful XML content server. A pure XML system that combines powerful full-text search with the W3C-standard XQuery language, MarkLogic Server unlocks the value of content by enabling government organizations to convert, query, manipulate, and render content.

Implement powerful content discovery and analysis systems

Integrate content from isolated silos Seamlessly integrate content from multiple sources and formats. Scale systems to handle multi-terabytes of content. Automatically convert content into well-formed XML without requiring adherence to any pre-dened DTD or schema. Avoid the time and cost associated with shredding and chunking content for use in a relational database. Mine content to discover details that search engines miss Retrieve detailed content references with full context, not just links to documents. Unlike a search engine that will respond to a simple keyword query with a list of links to documents that contain the keywords, MarkLogic Server pinpoints and returns the specic information sought at the level of granularity required. MarkLogic Server goes straight to the details, providing the exact context required for each query. This query precision eliminates the timeconsuming manual process of following search links to evaluate the true relevance of each hit. Assemble content into meaningful forms for analysis Query, manipulate, and render content, and deliver content products in multiple formats per varying user and mission requirements. MarkLogic Server goes beyond the limited content processing capabilities of relational databases, allowing you to not only nd and retrieve information of interest, but to automatically combine it with other information of interest to create meaningful content products for analysis.

MarkLogic Server Features

XML and XQuery XML is revolutionizing the way organizations integrate, store, access, and analyze content, enabling them to more easily repurpose content and create custom documents and views that speed analysis and provide deeper insights. With cross-agency initiatives such as the Intelligence Community Metadata Working Group, XML is rapidly becoming the standard for information sharing within the defense and intelligence communities, enabling diverse organizations with unique mission requirements to more easily access and mine the vast amount of contentbased information that must be sifted to discern vital, actionable intelligence. XQuery is a query language being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for querying and manipulating XML data. It is an open standard endorsed and supported by many leading technology companies. XQuery is a powerful step forward in content processing technology and is on its way to widespread adoption. MarkLogic Server features the industrys most powerful XQuery implementation that will not only search, but also transform, query and manipulate content. Users can ask for and get exactly the results they want, while XQuery searches both the content and the structure of that content. XQuery can isolate and extract specific portions of XML content from multiple sources, analyze and manipulate the extracted content, and dynamically generate new content.
