Abstract

The variety of data is one of the most challenging issues for the research and practice in data management systems. The data are naturally organized in different formats and models, including structured data, semi-structured data, and unstructured data. In this survey, we introduce the area of multi-model DBMSs that build a single database platform to manage multi-model data. Even though multi-model databases are a newly emerging area, in recent years, we have witnessed many database systems to embrace this category. We provide a general classification and multi-dimensional comparisons for the most popular multi-model databases. This comprehensive introduction on existing approaches and open problems, from the technique and application perspective, make this survey useful for motivating new multi-model database approaches, as well as serving as a technical reference for developing multi-model database applications.

Multi-model Databases and Tightly Integrated Polystores: Current Practices, Comparisons, and Open Challenges
CIKM '18: Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

One of the most challenging issues in the era of Big Data is the Variety of the data. In general, there are two solutions to directly manage multi-model data currently: a single integrated multi-model database system or a tightly-integrated middleware ...
Uniform data access platform for SQL and NoSQL database systems

A novel metamodel-based data integration approach is proposed, which allows to query data from heterogeneous (relational and NoSQL) database systems simultaneously.The presented method cover structural, semantic and syntactic heterogeneities of source ...
Evolution management in multi-model databases
Abstract
Following the Gartner predictions, most of the DBMSs, both traditional relational and NoSQL, have become multi-model. However, this functionality brought on plenty of related issues. One of the most complex ones is evolution management ...
