Talk:MarkLogic

healthcare.gov
Here's a good defense of MarkLogic on Slashdot by a programmer who was familiar with it. Now if we could find a WP:RS to say the same thing, that would make a good WP:NPOV section about MarkLogic's role in healthcare.gov.

I used marklogic when I worked at a previous job and after learning how it worked and understanding it better, it made our jobs incredibly easy. It just had a serious learning curve.

Marklogic is a nosql db, that uses XML for its object format and xquery for its query language. This thing is NOT mongodb. It actually works really well and allows for complex data modeling with the ability to do joins and have transactional isolation in making changes to the data as well as a really solid content processing framework with pipelining and all that jazz.

Now, I can't imagine a reason for using marklogic, or any non-relational db for a project like this. The only clue is that marklogic has a lot of government contracts; mostly for the military. So maybe that's why it was used. But the fact that they chose a database system that they weren't experts in for a project that had so much visibility speaks volumes on how mismanaged this whole project was.

This article still reads like an advert
Please stop removing the advert template just because you work for / are paid as a copywriter for MarkLogic. I've made several edits (wasn't logged in, apologies) to remove some of the worst offenders. Wikipedia is not for your press releases. I have no doubt that the product is notable, but a few of the references provided just suck.

Additional context for History section
In 2009 IDC mentioned MarkLogic in a report as one of the top Innovative Information Access Companies with under $100 million in revenue. That same year the term NoSQL picked up steam as a description of a database providing a mechanism for storing and retrieving data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in a relational database (e.g. key-value, wide column, graph, and/or document).

NoSQL providers posted revenue of $20 million in 2011 with projections for rapid growth. MarkLogic would have fallen under that category even from its earliest years, and today, this remains a category in which MarkLogic fits. The even newer term and category of “Multi-model” describes MarkLogic, too, given MarkLogic’s ability to store and query documents, graph data, or relational data from a single database.
