NoSQL Databases: Why, what and when

NoSQL Databases: Why, what and when by Lorenzo Alberton.

When I posted RDBMS in the Social Networks Age I did not anticipate returning the very next day with another slide deck from Lorenzo. But, after viewing this slide deck, I just had to post it.

It is a very good overview of NoSQL databases and their underlying principles, with useful graphics as well (as opposed to the other kind).

I am going to have to study his graphic technique in hopes of applying it to the semantic issues that are at the core of topic maps.

NoSQL Tapes

NoSQL Tapes: A filmed compilation of interviews, explanations & case studies

From the email announcement by Tim Anglade:

Late last year, as the NOSQL Summer drew to a close, I got the itch to start another NOSQL community project. So, with the help of vendors Scality and InfiniteGraph, I toured around the world for 77 days to meet and record video interviews with 40+ NOSQL vendors, users and dudes-you-can-trust.

….

My original goals were to attempt to map a comprehensive view of the NOSQL world, its origins, its current trends and potential future. NOSQL knowledge seemed to me to be heavily fragmented and hard to reconcile across projects, vendors & opinions. I wanted to try to foster more sharing in our community and figure out what people thought ‘NOSQL’ meant. As it happens, I ended up learning quite a lot in the process (as I’m sure even seasoned NOSQLers on this list will too).

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who agreed to participate in this series: 10gen, Basho, Cloudant, CouchOne, FourSquare, Ben Black, RethinkDB, MarkLogic, Cloudera, SimpleGeo, LinkedIn, Membase, Ryan Rawson, Cliff Moon, Gemini Mobile, Furuhashi-san, Luca Garulli, Sergio Bossa, Mathias Meyer, Wooga, Neo4J, Acunu (and a few other special guests I’m keeping under wraps for now); I couldn’t have done it without them and learned by leaps & bounds for every hour I spent with each of them.

I’d also like to thank my two sponsors, Scality & InfiniteGraph, from the bottom of my heart. They were supportive in a way I didn’t think companies could be and let me total control of the shape & content of the project. I’d encourage you to check them out if you haven’t done so already.

As always, I’ll be glad to take any comments or suggestions you may have either by email (tim@nosqltapes.com) or on Twitter (@timanglade).

Simply awesome!

Orient: The Database For The Web – Presentation

Filed under: NoSQL,OrientDB,Software — Patrick Durusau @ 9:02 am

Orient: The Database For The Web

Nice slide deck if you need something for the company CTO.

Perhaps to justify a NOSQL conference or further investigation into NOSQL as an option.

I was deeply amused by slide 19’s claim of “Ø Config.”

Maybe true if I am running it on my laptop during a conference presentation.

A bit more thought required for use in or with a topic map system.

Orient is an impressive bit of software and is likely to be used or encountered by topic mappers.

Questions:

  1. Uses of OrientDB in library contexts? (3-5 pages, citations/links)
  2. Download and install OrientDB. How do you evaluate it’s claim of “Ø Config?” (3-5 pages, no citations)
  3. Extra credit: As librarians you will be asked to evaluate vendor claims about software. Develop a finding aid on software evaluation for librarians faced with that task. (3-5 pages, citations)
