Traditional Approach Strips
Context
Define everything in rows and
columns
– Narrows to specific purpose
Fix categories into hierarchies
– Strips general context
Result: Metadata can’t be used across
all parts of the business

Hierarchical EraFor your application data!• Application- and
hardware-specific
Data Drives the Need for a New Generation Database
Relational Era“For all your structured data!”• Normalized, tabular
model• Application-
independent query• User control
Any Structure Era“For all your data!”• Schema-agnostic• Massive scale• Query and search• Analytics• Heterogeneous data • Faster time-to-results

Schema Flexibility with NoSQL
What if you didn’t need to define
everything up front?
And what if many of the nasty
data modeling issues with
metadata were just as simple as
adding new elements
And you can keep EVERYTHING!

Semantics to Model Relationships
Data model to manage relationships and link together data
‘triples’ describe single facts
Collections of facts describe complex real-world scenarios

Ontologies Instead of Categories
Actually model information as it is
in the real world
Not limited to a single purpose
– Ontologies for all categories of
metadata
– Even ‘impossible’ categories
like fictional worlds
