sones GraphDB is a graph-based database for cloud computing that models associations between complex data types, similar to how the human brain works. It allows for flexible data modeling and can efficiently store, manage, and query connected data. Unlike traditional relational databases with structured tables, sones GraphDB uses an object network approach to maintain the original data structure and enable linking of various data types, like text, images, videos, and more.

§ How people access information today:
• using the Web (no boundaries, unstructured) or
• using databases (structured, boundaries)
§ How people will access information in the
future:

• using the Semantic Web, ontologies
(no boundaries, structured, automated)

8. What is sones GraphDB?
sones GraphDB:
§ A new type of object-oriented, graph-based database management
system
§ Enables efficient storage, management and evaluation of complex,
highly connected data records
§ Combines the advantages of file storage with the possibilities of a
database management system
§ Unstructured data and information (e.g., video files), semi-structured
data (metadata, e.g., log files) and structured data (similar to SQL) can
be linked to each other, which makes it possible for users to manage
this data themselves and evaluate when necessary

9. What makes us different?
Persistence: Flexible data
Storage on a modeling
non-volatile while the
storage system is
medium running

10. We do it differently
§ Information and data are saved in object networks instead of
tables.
§ The original data structure is maintained.
§ New paradigm:
§ Linking logic and data. Improved efficiency-real-time.
§ New functions for large numbers of queries on highly complex,
distributed, dynamic data.
•Fewer processing steps required.
•Cost advantages, competitive advantages

17. Appendix
Application examples
17

18. Web
§ Image portal - Increases sales of images since the
right image can be found much more quickly or is
automatically recommended
§ AB testing - Fast and easy evaluation of marketing
campaigns Real-time analysis also possible during
implementation
§ Click-path analysis - e.g., via which paths do
customers access the portal
18

19. Web / content
§ Link building – Automatically links relevant pages/
content, checks completeness of references, makes
automatic recommendations of links to appropriate
pages (according to topic or other criteria).
§ SEO – Optimized search results (e.g., with Google).
The system does not directly link pages but generates
“link chains” that provide the desired depth (e.g., 4
plus x).
§ Content management - Providing the right content to
the right user in the right context at the right time
19

20. Universal data access
§ Enterprise Search/Enterprise Storage - Access to all
data present internally regardless of their data silo.
With the option of saving changes in that same
location. Supplements internal data with external
information from the Web (e.g. blogs/web portals/
social networks).
§ Central metadata repository - Universal data
access layer, centrally manage corporate data. Link
data from diverse editorial sources (images, articles,
etc.)
20

21. Social graph
§ Analysis of user behavior - How do visitors/customers
behave on the corporate website?
§ Customer/user group evaluation
§ SRM (social CRM) – Supplementing existing customer
data with customer data from sources such as social
networks, e.g., Facebook. Intention: to develop a
holistic picture of the customer. When customer X
calls, sales agents/customer agents can access both
the internal customer status as well as information on
the customer that they have posted on blogs, social
networks, etc.
21

22. Social net
§ Campaign management - Addressing campaigns to
the right customers at the right time.
§ Automatic categorization (e.g., job profiles for job
portals) - Semantic categorization in order to increase
the quality of job ads, etc., on the portal.
§ Social networks - Real-time friend-of-a-friend
calculation. Who do I know through WHOM?
Customizable path query with desired depth possible
ad-hoc.
22

23. eCommerce
§ eCommerce - Recommendations regarding the
right products made to the right customers at the
right time (customer-specific advertising), regional
targeting. Goal: To increase the number of items
sold.
§ eCommerce - Optimizing costs by reducing the
number of items returned – Automatic recognition
of “safe” returns, conducting pre-defined
processes, e.g., recommending suitable products,
increasing costs for shipping, etc.
23

24. Social commerce
§ Adding social commerce, i.e., recommendations
from/to friends in the friendship graph (i.e., also multi-
hop!) or
§ product graphs (shared shopping possible)
§ for members of a group or similar shopping behaviors
§ e.g., same brand regarding individual products
§ e.g., same interests/groups/rated products
24

25. Visualization
§ Affiliation management – Who is affiliated with which
companies? Direct storage of related information such
as minutes of meetings, company agreements, etc.
§ Visualization – Simple, interactive depiction of
relationship networks/connections/relationships.
Intuitive use (e.g.,. via Silverlight)
§ Geomapping - Linking the data mentioned above with
geoinformation Where are customers/subscribers
located? (and why?)
25

26. Miscellaneous
§ Recalls, e.g., for cars: Ad-hoc report of all the people
who purchased a car in which the defective part is
installed.
§ Parts tracking – Who installed which part when?
Which supplier can deliver a specific product at a
certain time for the lowest price?
§ Semantic Web – social tagging, processing user
generated content, crowd sourcing, social media
monitoring
26

27. CMDB
§ Configuration management database
• Definition according to Wikipedia In the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL)
context, a CMDB is a database that is used to access and manage
configuration items. All IT resources are classified as configuration items
(CI) in the context of IT management. […] In this context, this refers to the
existing pool and the interdependencies of the objects being managed.
• Specification: federation (metadata management) / reconciliation (target/
current state comparisons) / mapping visualization / synchronization
sones graphDB can be described as the only real
CMDB
