“We will build high performance content applications that will enable customers to centralize their XML content, repurpose this content and deliver it out through new products and services. ” —Mike Alsup, Gimmal Group

Government

The exponential growth of information across government has resulted in the rapid adoption of XML and XML-based standards to store, exchange and deliver information. Built specifically for this purpose, MarkLogic Server is the only solution capable of meeting the content analysis and interoperability requirements of government agencies and the situational awareness upon which net-centric operations depend.

MarkLogic Server enables government agencies to improve knowledge management, information sharing, and collaboration, and to analyze vast amounts of content and support missions with real-time data delivery. The results are lower costs, greater user involvement and more successful intelligence and defense missions.

Knowledge Management and Information Sharing

More

Few organizations on earth create and capture as much information as the United States government. With this immense volume of content—in emails, cable messages, documents, and training materials, as well as user generated content on wikis and blogs—many agencies are struggling to consolidate, understand, and share critical information. Mark Logic helps you apply leading-edge technology to manage your information so you can analyze it, share it and take action on it.

Using MarkLogic Server, agencies are building knowledge management systems that integrate content from various sources to provide a web-based central repository of knowledge on a specific topic or that support a critical mission. MarkLogic Server powers role- and task-aware knowledge management and information sharing applications with search , browsing and content delivery capabilities. This ensures that your users access up to the minute information when and where they need it.

Knowledge management applications built on MarkLogic provide web 2.0 capabilities, enabling you to incorporate user feedback and comments into your knowledge management system. This adds context that makes information more relevant and valuable, and facilitates collaboration across groups. For example, intelligence analysts can exchange insights with each other to piece together seemingly unrelated events and people. And personnel in different locations can share and access information in real time, contributing to the success of the overall mission.

Search and Discovery

more

As the amount of your agency’s information grows exponentially, its value grows along with it. MarkLogic Server unlocks that value with search and discovery applications that provide situationally-aware answers from the terabytes of content spread across all of your sources.

MarkLogic Server’s search and discovery capabilities exploit all of your source intelligence by allowing you to discover important relationships in the data in real time. By integrating XML and unstructured content in one repository, it gives you a complete view of all of your content, regardless of complexity or quality, and supports net-centric operations with task-, role- and situationally-aware content applications .

This lets you mine and analyze content in context—emails alongside field reports, immigration records next to open source content streams—to determine and classify information and its relative sensitivity. In civilian facing applications, MarkLogic Server gives your users the ability to retrieve the information they need down to the section, paragraph or table level, instead of links to lengthy web pages or documents.

Content Delivery

more

Federal agencies produce an increasing amount of content that is delivered and consumed in various digital formats. MarkLogic Server enables agencies to transform and deliver customized and personalized content through print, web, PDAs or virtually any other channel that is critical to your mission’s success.

MarkLogic Server gives you a platform for building multiple delivery applications that are all able to leverage the same content. Not only does this reduce costs and ensure content consistency across delivery channels, it gives you the agility to deliver content in context. Intelligence analysts can access and assess the same information on the web that soldiers are using in the field. And public applications can deliver the same content through multiple channels to ensure constituents are fully informed, whether they’re online, mobile or reading a printed guide.

MarkLogic Server also makes new content deliverable in real time, regardless of its source or format. It loads and indexes content as it’s created or changed, avoiding the built-in lag time between acquisition and indexing that hinders enterprise search-based applications. This means personnel in the field are all making decisions and acting on the same, most current information, and constituents have a transparent and timely view into their government.

Content Mining and Analytics

more

Content mining applications powered by Mark Logic reveal details, patterns and relationships that other solutions miss. MarkLogic Server’s advanced query capability combined with complete knowledge of your content’s structure lets you collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence information that is actionable and task- and role-specific.

By integrating content from multiple sources into a single repository , MarkLogic Server enables you to perform deep, meaningful and actionable content analysis. Through its flexible query mechanism against structured, semi-structured, and unstructured content, MarkLogic Server lets you identify patterns, recognize relationships and reveal insights that relational database and search solutions are incapable of uncovering.

For example, MarkLogic Server can infer structure from document formats or augment structure using enrichment techniques such as entity extraction, geo-tagging or automated categorization. This additional meta information can then be mined to reveal patterns and relationships, giving your analysts unique views of your content allowing them to more quickly synthesize, evaluate, and take action.

Custom Publishing

more

Government organizations are some of the world’s largest publishers, distributing volumes of information to diverse audiences. Using MarkLogic you can aggregate content from multiple sources, assemble customized documents, and dynamically deliver information personalized for your users.

Custom publishing solutions powered by MarkLogic Server let editors, analysts, and end-users search through content from multiple sources, select chapters, tables or even paragraphs, combine them with annotation or new content, and assemble it into a new document. They can then publish those documents in the format, and for the device, of their choice. This lets you deliver role- and task-specific information to all of your audiences, whether they’re diverse stakeholder groups in a large public project, constituents, analysts or soldiers in the field. Only MarkLogic Server has the content repository , aggregation and delivery capabilities necessary to give you this much flexibility and control over the publishing process.

MarkLogic Server enables government agencies to improve knowledge management, information sharing, and collaboration, and to analyze vast amounts of content and support missions with real-time data delivery.
