Mark Logic Corporation, whose products help to store, manage, search and dynamically deliver content, has launched MarkLogic Sever 4.0 — the newest version of its XML server. 

The 4.0 release aims to “improve search and delivery of unstructured and semi-structured data” — a goal for which Mark Logic believes organizations are actively searching.

Positive feedback is always a good thing. And thanks to feedback received and extensive implementation work, W3C has announced that they have published eight new standards in their XML Family. The new standards will play a large role in connecting databases with the Web and they “will support the ability to query, transform, and access XML data and documents.”

The three main standards are XML Query, XSLT 2.0 and XSLT 1.0. What are they all about? In a nutshell, XQuery lets you mine data from memos to messages, and everything in between, and XSLT 2.0 brings increased functionality to the already deployed XSLT 1.0, which lets you transform and apply visual style to XML data documents.
