A Turning Point for your Data: how to think about your data in a NoSQL world

MarkLogic’s schema-agnostic design lets you load data as-is and use it right away, without having to design a master schema that can accommodate all your data in advance.

And you can get great value from MarkLogic without ever doing any data modeling at all. But if you want to get the most out of your data, it helps to understand what’s in it. Much has been written on modeling data in a relational world, but how should you think about data modeling in the world of NoSQL?
