Of the many different datamodels, the relational model has been dominating since the 80s, with implementations like Oracle, MySQL and MSSQL – also known as Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Lately, however, in an increasing number of cases the use of relational databases leads to problems both because of Deficits and problems in the modeling of data and constraints of horizontal scalability over several servers and big amounts of data. There are two trends that bringing these problems to the attention of the international software community:
- The exponential growth of the volume of data generated by users, systems and sensors, further accelerated by the concentration of large part of this volume on big distributed systems like Amazon, Google and other cloud services.
- The increasing interdependency and complexity of data, accelerated by the Internet, Web2.0, social networks and open and standardized access to data sources from a large number of different systems.
