Mark Logic Hosts Webinar to Respond to Oracle XQuery Attack

December 30th, 2009 · No Comments

On Wednesday, January 6th, 2010, Mark Logic will host a webinar where two of Mark Logic‘s XQuery experts will respond to Oracle’s recently published white paper (PDF) which attacks Mark Logic and its implementation of XQuery.

The webinar features:

  • Mary Holstege, PhD. Principal Engineer at Mark Logic and member of the W3C XQuery and XML Schema working groups. Mary’s PhD dissertation at Stanford, Marking and the Design of Notations, addressed the explicit and implicit meaning of documents and the application of computational linguistics to help determine them.
  • Stephen Buxton. Product management director at Mark Logic, member of the W3C XQuery working group and a founding member of the W3C XQuery Full-Text task force. Stephen co-authored the book Querying XML which he wrote in conjunction with Jim Melton of Oracle. Prior to Mark Logic, Stephen worked in full-text and XML product management at Oracle for over 10 years.

The webinar will be run in an interview format with John Kreisa of Mark Logic serving as the moderator.

If you’re interested in the facts then please attend this webinar. We will cover not only our responses to Oracle’s objections, but we will also mention a few of the reasons we think prospective customers should use MarkLogic Server over Oracle XML DB.
