Semantics and NoSQL: How (and Why) to Do Semantics in a NoSQL Document Store / Database

This interactive workshop is designed for a technical audience (architects, engineers, DBAs, etc.) with some programming and/or semantics experience. It offers a unique opportunity to learn from MarkLogic experts and directly interact with the team that helped design the Semantics feature of MarkLogic.

You’ll learn how (and why) to use semantics in combination with other NoSQL technologies in a single database – on your own data, if you like – and you’ll be able to take everything you build during the session back home with you.

Attendees must bring their own laptops.
