The Role of Semantic Hybrid Multi‐Model Multi‐Platform (SHM3P) Databases for IoT
Shikha Mehta, Sanju Mishra Tiwari, Patrick Siarry, Abdul Jabbar · 2022
The semantic model introduces an additional abstraction layer for reasoning purposes, offering superior possibilities for data integration. Hence, the semantic model is best suited to act as a glue between different data models. This chapter discusses the possibilities for the Internet of Things (IoT) of so called semantic hybrid multi-model multi-platform (SHM3P) databases, which use semantic technologies as glue to integrate different data models and run on various platforms, offering the best features of the various data models and platforms. An SHM3P database management system (DBMS) supports semantic layers as glue between the different data models, and supports global semantic querying and reasoning by tightly integrating local query engines and reasoners. The chapter introduces the different platforms running execution environments for different types of DBMSs. It aims to identify benefits of future SHM3P databases for IoT in the areas of data storage and placement, data processing and applications.
