MarkLogic 9 introduces capabilities that are unique in the database market that further facilitate and ease the integration of data from silos. Entity Services allows organizations to manage messy, ever-changing data sources by allowing them to define and evolve a model and vocabulary that harmonizes real-world entities, such as customers and products, and the relationships between them.
