SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dr. Prabhakar
Raghavan, vice president and chief technology officer of Verity Inc.
(Nasdaq: VRTY), a leading provider of enterprise software that enables
organizations to maximize the return on their intellectual capital investment,
will give a speech at Infonortic's 2004 Search Engine Meeting on Monday, April
19, 2004, in The Hague, Netherlands.
Dr Raghavan's presentation will focus on Xquery and other proposed XML
query standards that have taken a data-centric view, revolving around
structured data. Textual and other content with relatively low structure
require the rich query capabilities that text query engines have built up.
Dr Raghavan will present a vision for applications that will require
semi-structured querying as envisioned by Xquery and other standards, while
simultaneously demanding full text searching within XML elements.
WHAT: Verity's Presentation at Infonortic's 2004 Search Engine Meeting
"Text and XML querying - Is There a Common Ground?"
