Endeca Server - Data (Model|Structure)

Oracle Platform Structured Unstructured Data

About

The data structure in the Oracle Endeca Server consists of:

  • records. Records are the fundamental units of data.
  • and attributes. An attribute is the basic unit of a record.

The Oracle Endeca Server:

  • stores each column of information on a combination of disk and memory in two sorts orders (by value and by a universal record key identifier).
  • contains a tree-structured index in memory to speed the retrieval of information.

Characteristics

  • No meta-data predefinition:
    • Table free: only record are loaded where its size can vary
    • faceted data model: each record is made of a series of name-value pairs (facets)
    • Jagged records: the record size may vary between set and each name-value pairs is not obligatory defined for each set.

Endeca Data Model Jagged

  • Structured and unstructured content
  • Fully Denormalized, all attributes are onto the record

Advantages

  • As the as the “Schema” follows the data, new (data|information|business process) can be:
    • quickly added by loading new records
    • done at any time
  • Disparate data: structured and unstructured where unstructured data can be analysed, enhanced and serve as filter for structured data
