Deimos: A Model-Based NoSQL Data Generation Language

연구 분야: Databases

학회: International Conference on Conceptual Modeling

Synthetic data generation is of great interest when testing applications using databases. Some research and tools have been developed for relational systems. However there has been little attention to this problem for NoSQL systems. This work introduces Deimos, a prototype of a model-based language developed to generate synthetic data from NoSQL schemas represented as models conforming the NoSQLSchema metamodel. Requirements for the language–that become its design forces–are stated. The language is described, the generation process is analyzed, and future lines of work are outlined.
