ALPSP Update
'All Your Document Are Belong To Us':
the Next Wave in Publishing Infrastructure*
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
Date: Wednesday 9 July 2008
Venue: British Institute of Radiology, 36 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AT
Chair: Geoff Bilder
As publishers consider revamping their online publishing infrastructures,
they are increasingly looking to new technologies like XML databases, RDF
triple stores and XML-aware fulltext indexing engines. Hear how publishers
are using Mark Logic Server, Exist, Jena and Lucene/Solr in order to provide
a more flexible and robust infrastructure for their future online publishing
needs.
This seminar, though on a technical topic, will be geared at non-techies who
want to understand the value-proposition behind these technologies.
