Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group (NPG), UK, has announced improved services for users, made possible by using MarkLogic Server as its XML repository. An enhanced nature.com search and the Palgrave Macmillan eBook platform, Palgrave Connect, are the first services from NPG to utilise MarkLogic Server. A product of Mark Logic Corporation, MarkLogic Server is an XML content platform that includes a unique set of capabilities to store, aggregate, enrich, search, navigate, and dynamically deliver content.
Nature.com serves as a gateway to all of the content published by NPG. Powered by MarkLogic Server, the enhanced nature.com search is now faster, more precise and up-to-date. Users can more effectively search articles from all journals on nature.com, and the search now also includes content from Nature News. Using Mark Logic's functionality, metadata is automatically extracted from articles and added instantly to the Mark Logic database. As a result, nature.com searches are faster and more precise. Improved indexing, including author, title, journal name, DOI and some keywords, enables more precise bibliographic queries.
MarkLogic Server is also the repository for Palgrave Connect, Palgrave Macmillan's eBook platform, powered by nature.com. Launched in February 2009, Palgrave Connect offers libraries a flexible approach to building an eBook collection of Palgrave Macmillan books for academic institutions. Site licenses provide access for an institution to more than 4,000 eBooks, split into collections by subject area. The eBooks are indexed using a Mark Logic pipeline to extract the full text as well as metadata including title, authors, year of publication, and various keywords.
MarkLogic Server offers a series of pipelines that enable NPG to process an article and automatically capture the metadata, automating the processing of information into the database/repository.
