With the ever-growing nature of spatiotemporal data, it is inevitable to use non-relational and distributed database systems for storing massive spatiotemporal datasets. In this chapter, the important aspects of non-relational (NoSQL) databases for storing large-scale spatiotemporal trajectory data are investigated. Mainly, two data storage schemata are proposed for storing trajectories, which are called traditional and partitioned data models. Additionally spatiotemporal and non-spatiotemporal indexing structures are designed for efficiently retrieving data under different usage scenarios. The results of the experiments exhibit the advantages of utilizing data models and indexing structures for various query types.

Fuzzy set theory has been extensively applied to extend various data models and resulted in numerous contributions, mainly with respect to the popular relational model or to some related form of it. To satisfy the need of modeling complex objects with imprecision and uncertainty, recently many researches have been concentrated on fuzzy semantic (conceptual) and object-oriented data models. This chapter reviews fuzzy database modeling technologies, including fuzzy conceptual data models and database models. Concerning fuzzy database models, fuzzy relational databases, fuzzy nested relational databases, and fuzzy object-oriented databases are discussed, respectively.

The appearance of the “big data” phenomenon has meant a change in the storage and information processing needs. This new context is characterized by 1) enormous amounts of information are available in heterogeneous formats and types, 2) information must be processed almost in real time, and 3) data models evolve periodically. Relational databases have limitations to respond to these needs in an optimal way. For these reasons, some companies such as Google or Amazon decided to create new database models (different from the relational model) that solve the needs raised in the context of big data without the limitations of relational databases. These new models are the origin of the so-called NonSQL databases. Currently, NonSQL databases have been constituted as an alternative mechanism to the relational model and its use is widely extended. The main objective of this chapter is to introduce the NonSQL databases.

Most information in an enterprise is in the form of unstructured data which is usually managed using a document database. One of the key challenges is to define a generalized data model for this unstructured data and any information extracted from it using content enrichment algorithms. It is more challenging to incorporate provenance and temporal capabilities to such data models. Semantic databases use ontologies such as PROV-O to represent their provenance information expressively, and relational databases use for example Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCDs) concepts to represent temporal information. In this paper, we present a document model which has features inspired from Dublin core, PROV-O and temporal methodologies to generalize information extracted from unstructured data using content enrichment algorithms. Provenance information enables comparison of enrichment models, allows reproducibility and facilitates complex filtering on the enriched data. Temporal metadata helps in versioning the document and enables point-intime and history queries conveniently.

Issues related to integrity in databases and distributed databases have been introduced in previous chapters. Therefore, the integrity problem in databases and how it can be managed in several data models (relational, active, temporal, geographical, and object-relational databases) are well known to the reader. The focus of this chapter is on introducing a new paradigm: The Web as the database, and its implications regarding integrity, i.e., the progressive adaptation of database techniques to Web usage. We consider that this will be done in a quite similar way to the evolution from integrated file management systems to database management systems.
