Mark Logic Government Summit 2009

Welcome

Welcome and thank you for joining us at the Mark Logic Government Summit!

Transformation. Transparency. Technology driving information advantage.

That is the theme of todays conference. The presenters and attendees

represent a diverse and inspiring set of government organizations. We look

forward to a day of lively and educational content.

We rmly believe that now is the time for information applications.

Organizations have spent years mastering their data but what about their

information? The government is taking a leadership role in storing, searching,

analyzing, and delivering information no matter the format. Today is about

learning how government organizations are innovating in ways never before

thought possible.

We have designed todays content to be both useful and inspirational and are

very pleased to have these amazing keynote speakers, who are as diverse as

they are inspiring:

Martin Gross, Deputy Program Executive Ofcer, Global Information

Grid Enterprise Services, Defense Information Systems Agency

Dr. G. Clark Smith, Executive for Programs and Technology, Ofce of

the Program Manager, Information Sharing Environment

Mike Daconta, CTO, Accelerated Information Management, LLC

This afternoon you may choose between application and technology

presentations. The Applications Track features Mark Logic customersdescribing the information applications they have built and deployed within

the government. The Technology Track offers a chance to hear how MarkLogic

Server makes these innovative applications possible.

We also invite you to visit the demo stations where you can talk with

our engineers and see examples of government applications running on

MarkLogic Server.

There is ample time for networking throughout the day and we hope to catch

up with you more at the closing reception.

Thank you for your support and participation.

Best Regards,

Randall Jackson

Vice President, Federal

9:35am 10:05am

Creating Sustainable Information-Sharing and

Collaboration Environments A DoD Perspective

Martin Gross, Deputy Program Executive Ofcer, Global

Information Grid Enterprise Services, Defense Information

Systems Agency

Few organizations have a greater mandate than the

Department of Defense to enable effective information sharing

to meet mission requirements with reliable performance,

security, and resiliency. Learn how DISA is managing itsportfolio of programs and projects that combine to deliver

net-centric enterprise information sharing services around

the globe every day. Understand the challenges from

headquarters to the eld to ensuring the right information

is available to decision makers when it is most critical. And

take away a greater understanding of the technical, program,

and acquisition considerations that are required to create and

sustain effective collaboration environments.

10:05am 10:45am

Enabling Essential Information-Sharing

Dr. G. Clark Smith, Executive for Programs and Technology,

Ofce of the Program Manager, Information Sharing

Environment

There are countless opportunities (and obstacles) to designing

and implementing effective information sharing solutions

that involve multiple agency enterprise architectures,

technology preferences, processes, cultures, not to mention the

management of classied and unclassied information. Learn

how the Federal Government is cooperating to streamline

cross-boundary information exchange, including what has been

readily accomplished, and the continuing hurdles to overcome.

Learn how to begin, evaluate practical options for collaboration,

develop standards for mutli-agency participation, and when to

navigate away from or around resistant organizational cultures

and traditional information stovepipes. Expand your knowledge

about how to use mission focus and common operating rules to

achieve meaningful decision-support programs.

11:00am 11:45am

Outcome-Based Information Management

Mike Daconta, CTO, Accelerated Information

Management, LLC

Many government organizations understand the importance

of information management, but do not understand where

to start their efforts and how those efforts will pay off in

the long run. A few organizations even begin doing data

management stuff before they understand the critical

factors necessary for success. Learn how to avoid the mistakesof early information management adopters by crafting an

outcome-based information management program instead of an

activity-based program. By examining real use cases from the

Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense

and other agencies, you will learn how to craft information

management outcomes; how to measure those outcomes; how

to work backwards from outcomes to activities to resources in

order to effectively plan your roadmap; and nally, how to focus

and accelerate your information management processes for

greater efciency and efcacy in achieving business outcomes.

11:45am 12:15pm

Enabling Global Information Discovery Using the

NCES Enterprise Catalog

Dave Lemen, Search Solutions Architect, CSC

The Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) Enterprise

Catalog plays an important role in making DoD information

visible on the Global Information Grid. The catalog supports

precision search against full-text, as well as geospatial,

temporal, subject, and bibliographic metadata, and

demonstrates the benet of adopting the DoD Discovery

Metadata Standard (DDMS). The deployment of a new catalog

architecture based on the MarkLogic Server this year offers a

case study that will be useful to program managers, information

managers, and search tool developers who want to maximize

the discoverability of their resources.

1:15pm 1:55pm

Building a Robust, High-Performance Ingest and

Storage Framework for Rapidly Evolving Battleeld

Exploitation Data

Guy Filippelli, CEO, Berico

This session will explain how and why Berico is using

MarkLogic to power a next-generation system to ingest,

analyze, present, and alert on the rapidly-evolving nature of

exploitation data in current conict zones. The presentation will

begin with the major forces that are shaping current and futuremilitary intelligence requirements and capabilities, discuss

the potential for MarkLogic to reinforce key large-system

government initiatives, and highlight key lessons learned on

the agile road to delivering capability to the warghter.

2:00pm 2:40pm

A Scalable XML Approach to Records

Archive Metadata

Betty Harvey, President, ECC, Inc.

This presentation will provide an understanding of how

the MarkLogic Server will be used to store metadata related

to assets ingested into the National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA) Electronic Records Archives

(ERA) project.

3:00pm 3:40pm

E-Space: A Real World Case Study of a MarkLogic

Implementation

Patrick J. Wall, Senior Associate, Booz Allen Hamilton

MarkLogic Server was brought in to this key DoD program to

enhance existing technologies and provide additional agility

in managing large volumes of XML data. In this session, we

will discuss our use of MarkLogic Server and taking advantage

of evolving platform features to deliver additional value

for clients.

3:45pm 4:25pm

Moving from Paper to Awareness: How to Discover

What You Didnt Know About Your Historic Paper

Documents

John Holshey, Program Manager, ENSCO

Many organizations history is preserved in libraries of paper

and microche documents. Many of these organizations

are unable to mine these collections for critical information

they need for todays problems and dont understand the

relationships within the content of these historic documents.

This presentation will describe a MarkLogic-based solution

to maximize the value of old, hard-copy document collections

utilizing deep content analysis. It will also summarize steps

required and the lessons learned in transitioning paper and

microche documents into rich, searchable content, and

visualizing the results.
