Abstract

2013 has been hyped as the year of Big Data, 2014 is still about projects dealing with deluge of data and this trend is going to continue as organisations produce and retain exponentially growing amounts of data, outpacing their capability to utilise the data and gain insight from it.

One method of dealing with the data flood is modeling the data - applying rules to ensure it is consistent and predictable where possible, and flexible everywhere else, providing definitions, examples, alternatives and connecting related structures.

On one hand of the modeling spectrum is the traditional relational data modeling with conceptual, logical and physical models and levels of normalization. Such a strict approach is definitely working well in some environments, but not in publishing where requirements are in constant flux and are rarely well defined.

On the other hand of the spectrum is the 'NOSQL' movement where data is literally dumped to storage as is and any data validation and modelling is kept in the application layer therefore needs software developers to maintain. At the moment NOSQL developers are a scarce minority amongst established publishers and a rare and expensive resource in general.

To balance these needs and problems, at Kode1100 Ltd we have designed and developed a modeling system, which to a large extent is resilient to changes in developer fashion and taste and can be maintained by technically savvy and otherwise intelligent folks who do not have to be full time programmers.
