Therefore, I would like to take a moment to thank all the persons who made my accomplishment possible and hence this is also part of their deed too. To my family, first for having instigated in me the curiosity to read, to know, to think and go further. And secondly for allowing me to continue my studies, providing the environment and the financial means to make it possible. To my classmate André Guerreiro, I would like to thank the invaluable brainstorming, the patience and the help through our college years. To my friend Isabel Silva, who gave me a precious help in the final revision of this document. Everyone in ADETTI-IUL for the time and the attention they gave me. Especially the people over Caixa Mágica, because I truly value the expertise transmitted, which was useful to my thesis and I am sure will also help me during my professional course. To my teacher and MSc. advisor, Professor Carlos Serrão, for embracing my will to master in this area and for being always available to help me when I needed some advice.

NoSQL DEFINITION: Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontally scalable. The original intention has been modern web-scale databases. The movement began early 2009 and is growing rapidly. Often more characteristics apply such as: schema-free, easy replication support, simple API, eventually consistent / BASE (not ACID), a huge amount of data and more. So the misleading term "nosql" (the community now translates it mostly with "not only sql") should be seen as an alias to something like the definition above.

Industries with huge amounts of data are finding it difficult to manage. They all are in search of some technology which can make their work easy and fast. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of different platforms available for performing big data over local data and how they differ with each other. This paper surveys different hardware platforms available for big data and local data and assesses the advantages and drawbacks of each of these platforms. KEYWORDS: Big data, Local data, HadoopBase, Clusterpoint, Mongodb, Couchbase, Database. INTRODUCTION This is an era of Big Data. Big Data is making radical changes in traditional data analysis platforms. To perform any kind of analysis on such huge and complex data, scaling up the hardware platforms becomes imminent and choosing the right hardware/software platforms becomes very important. In this research we are showing how big data has been improvising over the local databases and other technologies. Present day, big data is making a huge turnaround in technological world and so to manage and access data there must be some kind of linking between big data and local data which is not done yet.

  • Towards the Ontology Web Search Engine

    Towards the Ontology Web Search Engine

    TOWARDS THE ONTOLOGY WEB SEARCH ENGINE Olegs Verhodubs [email protected] Abstract. The project of the Ontology Web Search Engine is presented in this paper. The main purpose of this paper is to develop such a project that can be easily implemented. Ontology Web Search Engine is software to look for and index ontologies in the Web. OWL (Web Ontology Languages) ontologies are meant, and they are necessary for the functioning of the SWES (Semantic Web Expert System). SWES is an expert system that will use found ontologies from the Web, generating rules from them, and will supplement its knowledge base with these generated rules. It is expected that the SWES will serve as a universal expert system for the average user. Keywords: Ontology Web Search Engine, Search Engine, Crawler, Indexer, Semantic Web I. INTRODUCTION The technological development of the Web during the last few decades has provided us with more information than we can comprehend or manage effectively [1]. Typical uses of the Web involve seeking and making use of information, searching for and getting in touch with other people, reviewing catalogs of online stores and ordering products by filling out forms, and viewing adult material. Keyword-based search engines such as YAHOO, GOOGLE and others are the main tools for using the Web, and they provide with links to relevant pages in the Web. Despite improvements in search engine technology, the difficulties remain essentially the same [2]. Firstly, relevant pages, retrieved by search engines, are useless, if they are distributed among a large number of mildly relevant or irrelevant pages.
  • An Activity Based Data Model for Desktop Querying (Extended Abstract)?

    An Activity Based Data Model for Desktop Querying (Extended Abstract)?

    An activity based data model for desktop querying (Extended Abstract)? Sibel Adalı1 and Maria Luisa Sapino2 1 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 110 8th Street, Troy, NY 12180, USA, [email protected], 2 Universit`adi Torino, Corso Svizzera, 185, I-10149 Torino, Italy [email protected] 1 Introduction With the introduction of a variety of desktop search systems by popular search engines as well as the Mac OS operating system, it is now possible to conduct keyword search across many types of documents. However, this type of search only helps the users locate a very specific piece of information that they are looking for. Furthermore, it is possible to locate this information only if the document contains some keywords and the user remembers the appropriate key- words. There are many cases where this may not be true especially for searches involving multimedia documents. However, a personal computer contains a rich set of associations that link files together. We argue that these associations can be used easily to answer more complex queries. For example, most files will have temporal and spatial information. Hence, files created at the same time or place may have relationships to each other. Similarly, files in the same directory or people addressed in the same email may be related to each other in some way. Furthermore, we can define a structure called “activities” that makes use of these associations to help user accomplish more complicated information needs. Intu- itively, we argue that a person uses a personal computer to store information relevant to various activities she or he is involved in.
