2. Structured and
unstructured Search
Related/”Semantic”
Search

3. Building and Maintaining Applications with
relational and non-relational data is hard
Pain Complex integration
Duplicated functionality
Points Compensation for unavailable services
Reduce the cost of managing all data
Simplify the development of applications
Goals over all data
Provide management and programming
services for all data

4. Tables, XML, Spatial, Documents, Digital Media, Scientific Records,
Factoids…
Data formats and content natively understood for rich application and
user experience
Consistent Application Model and Data Constructs to ease application
development, migration and long-term retention
Provide rich services, e.g.,
