The JAMA Network Expands Services with the MarkLogic Database (SCN)
Story Highlights
MarkLogic today announced that The JAMA Network (publisher of the Journal of the American Medical Association and 11 specialty journals) built its content distribution network on the MarkLogic® database. By integrating millions of files and 3.2 terabytes of data (and growing) with the MarkLogic database, the JAMA Network can discover, access, and reuse all of its information with the highest possible levels of security and availability. Since the implementation, the publisher has been able to streamline the content distribution workflow significantly. The MarkLogic database helps the JAMA Network team members store, manage, integrate, search and reuse information contained in articles and associated resources, such as video, audio, or figures. These features maximize the usability of the data and provide effective and quick distribution…
“We can distribute content much easier than anticipated, all while knowing that our data is protected and extremely usable,” said Karen Adams-Taylor, Vice President, Publishing Operations, American Medical Association. “We required a flexible and agile database that could manage diverse data types and could also provide necessary enterprise features like role-based security and ACID transactions. The MarkLogic database was the one database that could provide this unique combination.”
“We are especially pleased to see an organization like the AMA, which has such an important mission, embrace the power of new generation technologies like the MarkLogic database to realize the full potential of its data while establishing a powerful infrastructure to meet future data needs,” said Joe Pasqua, executive vice president, Products, MarkLogic. “By building The JAMA Network on the MarkLogic database, the AMA can better leverage its existing and incoming content to more easily keep the medical community up-to-date on practice-changing research. We are eager to see how this agility will bring new benefits as the organization continues to evolve in the way it serves its community.”
