TRADITIONAL METADATA APPROACHES


Metadata in Rows and Columns

Everything up front

Complexity of schema versus flexibility

How many actors? Producers?

Selective inclusion of data

Has to be designed for a single purpose

Difficult to adapt and include new data

With Fixed Taxonomies

Hierarchical levels of metadata

Fixed to a specific business purpose

Each asset can only be associated with one level

How many category fields?

Traditional Approach

Multiple categories, overlapping genres and real-world data problems stymie this approach

100s of metadata fields

Metadata can’t be used across all parts of the business

The model is inflexible and incomplete

SEMANTICS, NOSQL + CONTEXT


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

"John Smith" "England"livesIn

"London"isIn

livesIn

!


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


NoSQL and Semantics: Using CONTEXT to Unlock Content
