This paper proposes an approach for metagraph model storage in databases with different data models. The formal definition of the metagraph data model is given. The approaches for mapping the metagraph model to the flat graph, document-oriented, and relational data models are proposed. The limitations of the RDF model in comparison with the metagraph model are considered. It is shown that the metagraph model addresses RDF limitations in a natural way without emergence loss. The experiments result for storing the metagraph model in different databases are given. Keywords: metagraph, metavertex, flat graph, graph database, document-oriented database, relational database. adapted for information systems description by the 1 Introduction present authors [2]. According to [2]: = , , , At present, on the one hand, the domains are becoming where – metagraph; – set of metagraph more and more complex.

This model may be considered as a “logical” model of metagraph fragment. the metagraph storage. Thus, a metavertex in addition to the attributes A metagraph is a kind of complex network model, includes a fragment of the metagraph. The presence of proposed by A. Basu and R. Blanning [1] and then private attributes and connections for a metavertex is a distinguishing feature of a metagraph.

Metavertex mv2 contains property of the new vertex. vertices v4, v5 and connecting them edge e6.

Of course, it is impossible to turn a hierarchical graph model into a flat one directly. The key idea to do this is to use multipartite graphs [3]. 83 fragments into predicate representation is described in mv1 details in [2].

The original metagraph is represented in Fig. 2 and The first way is to use a pure relational schema. In corresponding flat graph is represented in Fig. 3.

The table “relation” contains the The proposed mapping may be used for storing representation of edges. metagraph data in graph or hybrid databases such as Neo4j or ArangoDB. It is important to note that flattening metagraph model does not solve all problems for graph database usage. Consider the example of a query using the Neo4j database query language “Cypher”: (n1:Label1)-[rel:TYPE]->(n2:Label2) One can see that used notation is RDF-like and suppose that graph edges are named.

    0 Multi-model Databases: A New Journey to Handle the Variety of Data JIAHENG LU, Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki IRENA HOLUBOVA´ , Department of Software Engineering, Charles University, Prague 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 which 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.

    Cloud Storage Big Data and Cloud Computing (CC4053) Eduardo R. B. Marques, DCC/FCUP 1 / 40 Cloud storage We provide an overview of the main storage models used with cloud computing, and example cloud service offerings including: File systems Object stores (buckets) Databases: relational (SQL-based) and other kinds (“NoSQL”) Data warehousing Reference → most of the topics in these slides are also covered in chapters 2 and 3 of Cloud Computing for Science and Engineering. 2 / 40 Local file systems Characteristics: hierarchical organisation of files within directories uses an entire disk or a disk partition with fixed capacity data is read/written by a single host programmatic access by standard APIs (e.g., the POSIX interface) Advantage → most programs are designed to work with files, and use the file system hierarchy (directories) as a natural means to organize information - files/directories have no associated “data schema” though. Disavantadges → Shared access by multiple hosts is not possible, and the volume of data is bound by the file system capacity. Distributed file systems, discussed next, can handle shared access and mitigate volume restrictions. 3 / 40 Local file systems (cont.) Example: configuration of a VM book disk in Compute Engine 4 / 40 Network attached storage Characteristics: Files are physically stored in a server host. The file system can be attached over the network by other hosts, and accessed transparently (i.e. the same way as local file systems). Data consistency is managed by a network protocol such as NFS (Networked File System) and SMB (Server Message Block). Advantages → data sharing by multiple hosts, and typically higher storage capacity (installed at server hosts) Example cloud services → NFS: Amazon EFS, Google File Store, Azure Files (Azure Files also supports SMB).

  • A Survey on Spatio-Temporal Data Analytics Systems
    A Survey on Spatio-temporal Data Analytics Systems MD MAHBUB ALAM and LUIS TORGO, Dalhousie University, Canada ALBERT BIFET, The University of Waikato, New Zealand Due to the surge of spatio-temporal data volume, the popularity of location-based services and applications, and the importance of extracted knowledge from spatio-temporal data to solve a wide range of real-world problems, a plethora of research and development work has been done in the area of spatial and spatio- temporal data analytics in the past decade. The main goal of existing works was to develop algorithms and technologies to capture, store, manage, analyze, and visualize spatial or spatio-temporal data. The researchers have contributed either by adding spatio-temporal support with existing systems, by developing a new system from scratch for processing spatio-temporal data, or by implementing algorithms for mining spatio-temporal data. The existing ecosystem of spatial and spatio-temporal data analytics can be categorized into three groups, (1) spatial databases (SQL and NoSQL), (2) big spatio-temporal data processing infrastructures, and (3) programming languages and software tools for processing spatio-temporal data. Since existing surveys mostly investigated big data infrastructures for processing spatial data, this survey has explored the whole ecosystem of spatial and spatio-temporal analytics along with an up-to-date review of big spatial data processing systems. This survey also portrays the importance and future of spatial and spatio-temporal data analytics. CCS Concepts: • General and reference ! Surveys and overviews; • Information systems ! Spatial- temporal systems; Parallel and distributed DBMSs. Additional Key Words and Phrases: spatial databases, spatial NoSQL, big spatial data, spatio-temporal data, trajectory data, spatial data stream, GIS software, spatial libraries ACM Reference Format: Md Mahbub Alam, Luis Torgo, and Albert Bifet.

In this vision paper, we discuss the potential of a new generation of multi-model database systems as data backends in such settings. Discussing a specific example scenario, we show how this family of database systems allows for agile and flexible schema management. We also identify open research challenges in generating sound triple-views from data stored in interlinked models, as a basis for SPARQL querying. We then conclude with a general overview of multi-model data management systems, to provide a wider scope of the problem domain.
