As a technology platform provider, you inevitably have certain visions of what applications your customers will one day build with your product. For example, Mark Logic Founder Christopher Lindblad originally envisioned that customers would spider and enrich Internet content, enabling an XQuery Internet search box as opposed to the typical keyword-oriented one. Christopher’s vision became reality a few years back when we started working in open source intelligence .

Just a quick post to highlight some (fairly) recent research from Outsell entitled XML: The Necessary Ingredient for Information Publishing (paid, $695) based on a survey run early this year. While the survey had only 30 respondents, so you must generalize with care, I still think the results are interesting and illustrative. Excerpt from the introduction on how XML can help information providers go web 2.0: In our view, XML should be a key ingredient in any publisher’s or information provider’s toolkit.

I’m pleased to announce that the 3rd annual Mark Logic Digital Publishing Summit will be held on Thursday, December 10, 2009 at none other than The Plaza hotel in New York City. More information will be undoubtedly be forthcoming from our marketing department, but I wanted to get the date out for calendar-blocking purposes as soon as possible. [Revision: more information is now available here .] This should be an outstanding event, with I’d guess well over 200 people in attendance, discussing the top issues in the publishing and media business.

Schema reporting tools – XQuery use case?

We have been very pleased with the interest in our new report, Digital Platforms and Technologies for Publishers: Implementations Beyond "eBook." We have had hundreds of downloads already, the vast majority of which are senior people in the publishing industry. This tells us that the timing for the research is good and that interest is strong, and we are thinking about what to do next with this topic. One idea we have thought about is helping publishers think through their eBook strategy

I have a theory – 80% of the drama started between the major team-run technology blogs is due to the feature in WordPress known as “Schedule Post.” Y’see, while I love WordPress dearly, one of the least reliable features in the system is the draft / post scheduling system.  I’ve been working on a daily basis for almost three years with scheduling posts, and there has been more foul-ups on a regular basis than I could possibly count up (you ever want to get a scoop on what we’ll be blogging abo

I’ve been off filling my brain at the Stanford Graduate School of Business for the past two weeks, so I haven’t been able to post much. I have nevertheless managed to keep my Tweetstream going so, if you’re not already following me on Twitter , you may wish to consider doing so because I am changing my sharing pattern to include more Tweets based upon the realization that bit.ly makes it very easy to do so and that I only blog on somewhere between 5% and 25% of the topics that I throw on my to-blog list.

Two Great Posts on Media Industry Disruption

I recently returned from a long business trip, and while working through my email backlog I’ve come across several questions from developers who are working with the Open XML formats.  I’ve responded to each of them with some tips on how to best get such questions answered, and I  thought I’d summarize that information here for others who may find it useful. Your first stop for most Open XML development questions should be the forums section of the Open XML Developer web site.  You can post a question there and it will be seen by the people who manage that site, and also by the broader Open XML developer community.  Over 4,000 comments have been posted to those forums, so you can also learn quite a bit by reviewing the existing threads.  And the library section of the site has dozens of articles with Open XML code samples in many programming languages, including Java, C#, C++, PHP, Ruby, Python, and others.
