Data Vaults: A Symbiosis between Database Technology and Scientific File Repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this short paper we outline the data vault, a databaseattached external file repository. It provides a true symbiosis between a DBMS and existing file-based repositories. Data is kept in its original format while scalable processing functionality is provided through the DBMS facilities. In particular, it provides transparent access to all data kept in the repository through an (array-based) query language using the file-type specific scientific libraries. The design space for data vaults is characterized by requirements coming from various fields. We present a reference architecture for their realization in (commercial) DBMSs and a concrete implementation in MonetDB for remote sensing data geared at content-based image retrieval.

Revolutionary Database Technology for Data Intensive Research
The heart of a scientific data warehouse is its database system, running on a modern distributed platform, and used for both direct interaction with data gathered from experimental devices and management of the derived knowledge using workflow software. However, most (commercial) DBMS offerings cannot fulfill the demanding needs of scientific data management. They fall short in one or more of t...
متن کاملDbmss and Data-management Architectures before We Discuss the Data Vault's Functionalities, Let's Consider Some Important Background Infor- Mation. Software Architectures for Data-intensive
I ncreased data volume from advanced observatory instruments and simulations has led to data-intensive scientific domains.1 Scientific research requires efficient technology to manage and explore high-volume data repositories. Scientists organize this data primarily in multitier, filed-based repositories. Metadata encoded in file names or managed by workflow systems let researchers navigate and...
متن کاملThe Symbiosis of Human and Semantic Technology Through the Lens of Actor-Network Theory
Background: Semantic technologies (STs) have made machine reasoning possible by providing intelligent data management methods. This capability has created new forms of interaction between humans and STs, which is called "semantic interaction." The increasing spread of this form of interaction in daily life reveals the need to identify the factors affecting it and introduce the requirements of...

متن کاملIntegrating software engineering tools and repositories with XML and XSLT
Interoperability between heterogeneous repositories and applications is often needed in Internet-based software development. At present XML is increasingly being used to integrate repositories and to express data fetched from various sources, but mismatches are encountered between the schemas of different repositories. XSLT is typically used to stylize results, but this does not utilize the ful...
