Evolving Data Archives

摘要

A data archive constructed from source data, whose structure and associated schemas can evolve based on the generated responses to user data requests. Based on the analysis of the responses, the schema and/or archive structure can be modified to provide greater knowledge, definition and operations available to be performed on the data, as well as to reduce the processing and storage costs associated with housing and accessing the data within the archive.
