Thursday, October 22nd, 2009 by Mark Rittman I was on-site yesterday helping an ISV integrate BI Publisher into their product, and hit a few issues getting the product installed and running on the Weblogic application server. BI Publisher comes integrated out-of-the-box with OC4J and Oracle Application Server, but you’ll need to install and configure it manually to work with other application servers You can read the full article HERE . Many Thanks to Mark for his posting.

Just a quick post to highlight a story in the San Jose / Silicon Valley Business Journal entitled Mark Logic in San Carlos Saves Customers from Drowning in Data . Excerpt: The San Carlos technology firm offers software that helps businesses store, organize and filter all the data they’ve accumulated, including e-mails and Web pages and other so-called unstructured information that isn’t easily manageable

(Revised: confirmed that the source, MS&L, is ZL’s PR firm.) While I don’t have official verification of this, I did learn the following this afternoon, regarding the lawsuit filed against Gartner by ZL Technologies over its treatment in their magic quadrants about which I posted earlier this week and which is also covered here , here , and here . “In today’s hearing on Gartner’s motion to dismiss ZL’s complaint, the court did not come to a decision.” Precisely because I couldn’t find any reference to this online (yet), I figured it was breaking news and should share it via the blog. I learned this information via an email from David Schraeder of MS&L , the PR firm representing ZL Technologies

If you have a bunch of XML and are looking for of a place to put it, then I think I may have come up with a simple test that might be helpful. In talking with prospective vendors of XML repositories (definition: software that lets you store, search, analyze and deliver XML), try to establish what I’ll call “XML vision compatibility.” Quite simply, try to figure out if the vendor’s vision of XML is consistent with your own. To help with that exercise, I’ll define what I see as the three common XML vendor visions: YAFF (yet another file format) YADT (yet another data type) Whole world YAFF Vendors Vendors with the YAFF vision view XML as yet another file format

XML: YAFF, YADT, or Whole World?

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?

The difference between R and XQuery however is that R is a language with one implementation. Thus the site for downloading R can also provide all this information to users, for XQuery it is too fragmented.
