Mark Logic Executive Provides Expert Advice on Querying XML in Best-Selling New Book; Readers Will Learn Best Practices in Approaching Technology Standards XML and XQuery.

SAN MATEO, Calif. -- Mark Logic(R) Corporation, provider of the industry's leading XML content server, today announced that its director of product management, Stephen Buxton, has coauthored a new book with Jim Melton entitled "Querying XML: XQuery, XPath, and SQL/XML in Context." The book serves as a new resource to help developers, architects, and managers learn and assess XML querying capabilities to find and extract fine-grained information from large content repositories.

"With XQuery on the verge of being approved by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), the timing for a book like this is perfect and supports our aim of helping fuel broad industry adoption of this breakthrough query language," said Buxton. "I joined Mark Logic because of its passionate advocacy of XML and deep experience in building the industry's most flexible and powerful XQuery implementation with integrated full-text search. Both XML and XQuery are revolutionizing the way organizations are developing the coming generation of content applications."

Published by Morgan Kaufmann Publishers and currently the best-selling XQuery book on Amazon.com, "Querying XML" teaches the most useful approaches to querying XML documents and content repositories. In a remarkably short period, XML has become the most accepted standard for marking up documents in order to unlock the business value in content. Moreover, the need for organizations to locate, retrieve, and repurpose content has also caused XQuery to emerge as a core content technology standard.
