Mark Logic to Hold Executive Publishing Seminar on the Agile Publishing Imperative

 What:    Mark Logic(R) Corporation, provider of the industry’s leading XML          content server, today announced that it will hold an executive          publishing seminar on Thursday, November 8, 2007, featuring David          Worlock, chief research fellow of Outsell, Inc., and Howard          Ratner, chief technology officer of Nature Publishing Group.          “The Agile Publishing Imperative: Accelerate the Creation of          Information Products,” will include commentary on market trends          and realities from leading market watcher and publishing guru,          David Worlock. Outsell published its seminal report on agile          publishing more than two years ago, challenging publishers to          adopt agile development principles. David will share his          perspective on how publishing companies have responded to this          challenge and which segments have successfully adopted agile          techniques. He will also make predictions of where the information          industry is headed in the near future.          The executive event will share an example of agile publishing at          work at Nature Publishing Group. Nature, a consistent innovator in          the industry, was one of the first to apply Web 2.0 techniques to          the publishing process, deploying XML to modularize content for          targeted reuse and delivery. This move has positioned Nature to          accelerate the development process to launch new products within          weeks in some cases. Howard Ratner, Nature’s chief technology          officer, will profile results and benefits of agile publishing and          share lessons learned on people, processes, and technology.          David and Howard will join for a panel discussion following their          presentations. Who:     David Worlock chairs Outsell’s Europe-based Executive Leadership          Councils, a member-service for CEOs and senior executives of media          publishing and information-provider firms. A respected thought          leader, he frequently speaks at industry conferences and advises          clients worldwide.          Howard Ratner is chief technology officer of Nature Publishing          Group. Based in New York, Howard is in charge of US operations and          has global responsibilities for Production and Manufacturing,          Emerging Technologies, Web Development and Operations, and IT          across all NPG products. He serves on the board of directors for          CrossRef and CLOCKSS, leads CrossRef Web Services, and is a member          of the CCC Publisher Advisory and the STM Future Lab committees.          The event will be hosted by Mark Logic Corporation. Mark Logic is          uniquely positioned to help publishers unlock the value of their          content to drive agile publishing business models that speed the          delivery of new information products. When:    “The Agile Publishing Imperative: Accelerate the Creation of          Information Products,” will be held from 8:00 – 11:00 am on          Thursday, November 8, 2007, at the Four Seasons Hotel, 57 East          57th Street, New York.
