The topic of NoSQL databases has emerged recently in the face of the challenge regarding Big Data – namely, the ever-increasing volume of data to be handled. It is now recognized that relational databases are not appropriate in this context, and thus new database models and techniques are necessary.
This book presents recent studies in the field, covering the following basic areas: semantic data management, graph databases and Big Data management in Cloud environments. The authors report on research regarding the evolution of basic concepts such as data models, query languages and new challenges related to issues of implementation.
