Topic: Data model


  
 Data model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A data model is a model that describes in an abstract way how data is represented in a business organization, an information system or a database management system.
For example in the relational model all data is represented by mathematical relations (or, to be precise, a slightly generalized version thereof).
While simple data models consisting of few tables or objects can be created "manually", large applications need a more systematic approach.

 VSO Data Model: Version 1.8
For the VSO Data Model the bounding circle is to be understood as either the maximum inscribed circle in the bounding data rectangle (polygon), or the minimum circumscribed circle, depending on whether the query is for included data (presumably the normal default) or excluded data, respectively.
For example, an archive of data all taken at the same wavelength is unlikely to have wavelength as a searchable key in its database, but could (and should) supply that wavelength as a fixed value in its data description to avoid inappropriate satisfaction of client queries.
Some data providers may be virtual, that is the query (but not the archive and distribution) services may be handled by other servers with access to their database information as proxies.

 Data Modeling 101
Although you wouldn’t think it, data modeling can be one of the most challenging tasks that an Agile DBA can be involved with on an agile software development project.
The goals of this article are to overview fundamental data modeling skills that all developers should have, skills that can be applied on both traditional projects that take a serial approach to agile projects that take an evolutionary approach.
Your approach to data modeling will often be at the center of any controversy between the agile software developers and the traditional data professionals within your organization.

 TDAN Hay - Data Model Views
A data model (specifically, an "entity/relationship" model) has two purposes: first, a systems analyst uses it to confirm with prospective system users that he or she understands the nature of the business involved; second, a system designer uses it as the blueprint for the underlying structure of a new or revised system.
The data model is a drawing — intended to represent the business in its most fundamental sense — showing entities as "things of significance about which an organization wishes to hold information".
Early relational data base management systems were slow, even with the tools available for logical tuning, so table structures were de-normalized and departed from the conceptual model.

 Data Model Dictionary
The ProcessAnalyst model describes the computations of data (or value) within a system without regards to when and why the values are computed.
Conceptual Data Model (CDM) - A CDM represents the overall logical structure of a database, which is independent of any software or data storage structure.
View - Data structure that results from an SQL query and that is built from data in one or more tables.

Such data models are typically used in the first stage of information-system design; they are used, for example, to describe information needs and/or the type of information that is to be stored in the database during the requirements_analysis.
The classical notation is described in the remainder of this article, and mainly relates to conceptual modelling.
There are a range of notations more typically employed in logical and physical database design, including Information Engineering, IDEF1x (ICAM DEFinition Language) and Dimensional Modelling.

 The XML data model
The data that is encoded in an XML document may or may not have embedded newlines.
Since all the other nodes have delimiters to distinguish them, data nodes don't need them: everything that is not between `< and `>' is data.
The main structure of an XML document is tree-like, and most of the lexical structure is devoted to defining that tree, but there is also a way to make connections between arbitrary nodes in a tree.

 XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Data Model (XDM)
The data model can represent various values including not only the input and the output of a stylesheet or query, but all values of expressions used during the intermediate calculations.
The data model cannot support environments where different types with the same expanded-QName are available.
The data model is based on the [Infoset] (henceforth "Infoset"), but it requires the following new features to meet the [XPath 2.0 Requirements] and [XML Query Requirements]:

 Abstract Data Models [Win64]
Basic data types remain 32 bits in length, so there is no change in the size of data on the disk, data shared over a network, or data shared through memory-mapped files.
These new data types have been added to the Windows API header files.
Defining the data model does not make this task easier.

 Developing with Core Data
In order to be properly managed, a data object needs to be associated with its managed object context and an entity definition that is part of the managed object model that is being implemented by the context.
And, since every application has some sort of data model, this was a problem that every developer had to solve independently.
It allows Core Data to efficiently optimize the objects that are loaded into memory and leave unused data on disk.

 Data Models
When SQL is generated from a data model, the primary emphasis is on the DDL statements that define the database schema and to a lesser extent the DCL statements that handle privileges.
Logical data models are used to organize and understand information structure.
To be more precise, entity and attribute usually refer to the logical data model, while table and column refer to the physical SQL code.

 WinFS Data Model
These classes are known as data classes, for example, Service, FullName, etc. In Longhorn there are 28 schemas with their corresponding data classes in the WinFS API.
The main component of this relational data access API is the T-SQL language holding possibilities to make queries in a SQL based manner over the WinFS store.
The existence of data classes reflects the object-oriented approach in the WinFS philosophy.

 The CLEO Data Model Home Page
The separation of data analysers from data providers has the additional benefit of allowing simple standalone tools to be constructed, since they look at data though the same interfaces.
A good data model also decouples higher level functions at the user level from lower level systems providing data.
Conversely, necessary changes made to the data format are not visible at the user analysis level.

 Topic Maps — Data Model
The purpose of the data model is to define the interpretation of the Topic Maps interchange syntaxes, and to serve as a foundation for the definition of supporting standards for canonicalization, querying, constraints, and so on.
Topic maps may be represented in many ways: using Topic Maps syntaxes in files, inside databases, as internal data structures in running programs, and even mentally in the minds of humans.
All datatypes used shall have a string representation of their value space and this string representation is what is stored in the topic map.

 About Arc Marine, the ArcGIS Marine Data Model
For users, an ArcGIS data model provides a basic template for implementing GIS projects (i.e., inputting, formatting, geoprocessing, and sharing data, creating maps, performing analyses, etc.); for developers, it provides a basic framework for writing program code and maintaining applications.
A key advantage of the data model is that it should help users to take fuller advantage of the most advanced manipulation and analysis capabilities of ArcGIS, particularly its support of more complex rules that can be built into its geodatabases, and of objects with not only attributes, but database rules (rudimentary behavior).
The model also considers how marine and coastal data might be more effectively integrated in 3-D space and time.
