Document-Oriented Database Platform

A Document-Oriented Database Platform is a document-focused NoSQL database management platform tailored for document-oriented datasets.

• AKA: Document Database Platform, Document DBMS, Document Store Platform, Document Database System, Document-Oriented DBMS, Document Database Management System.
• Context:
  • It can typically create Document Database Instances through database initialization and collection creation.
  • It can typically provide Document Query Languages for document retrieval and document manipulation.
  • It can typically support Document Schema Validation through validation rules and schema constraints.
  • It can typically enable Document Indexing Capability through index types and index strategys.
  • It can typically offer Document Replication through replica sets and synchronization mechanisms.
  • ...
  • It can often implement ACID Compliance at document levels or transaction levels.
  • It can often provide Sharding Support for horizontal scaling and distributed storage.
  • It can often include Administration Tools for database monitoring and performance tuning.
  • It can often support Programming Language Drivers for application integration and API access.
  • It can often enable Change Streams for real-time notifications and event processing.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Single-Node Database Platform to being a Distributed Database Platform, depending on its architecture design.
  • It can range from being an Open-Source Database Platform to being a Commercial Database Platform, depending on its licensing model.
  • It can range from being a Cloud-Native Database Platform to being an On-Premise Database Platform, depending on its deployment model.
  • It can range from being a General-Purpose Database Platform to being a Specialized Database Platform, depending on its use case focus.
  • It can range from being a Schema-Free Database Platform to being a Schema-Enforced Database Platform, depending on its validation approach.
  • It can range from being a Memory-Optimized Database Platform to being a Storage-Optimized Database Platform, depending on its performance focus.
  • ...
  • It can be deployed through a Platform Installation Task using deployment scripts and configuration files.
  • It can be configured through a Platform Configuration Task using setting parameters and tuning options.
  • It can be maintained through a Platform Maintenance Task using update procedures and patch management.
  • It can be monitored through a Platform Monitoring Task using metric collection and alert systems.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • General-Purpose Document Database Platforms, such as:
    • MongoDB Database System by MongoDB Inc., for flexible document management.
    • CouchDB Platform by Apache Foundation, for distributed document storage.
    • RavenDB Platform by Hibernating Rhinos, for ACID-compliant document databases.
  • Search-Oriented Document Database Platforms, such as:
    • Elasticsearch Platform by Elastic, for full-text search applications.
    • Apache Solr Platform by Apache Foundation, for enterprise search solutions.
    • Apache Lucene Library by Apache Foundation, for search engine implementation.
  • Cloud Document Database Platforms, such as:
    • Amazon DocumentDB by AWS, for MongoDB-compatible cloud service.
    • Azure Cosmos DB by Microsoft, for globally distributed databases.
    • Google Firestore by Google Cloud, for serverless document storage.
  • Wiki-Oriented Document Database Platforms, such as:
    • Wikibase System by Wikimedia Foundation, for structured wiki data.
    • MediaWiki Platform for collaborative content management.
  • Embedded Document Database Platforms, such as:
    • UnQLite Library for embedded document storage.
    • LiteDB Platform for .NET applications.
    • TinyDB Library for Python applications.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Relational Database Platform, which manages table-based databases rather than document databases.
  • Key-Value Store Platform, which manages key-value databases without document structure.
  • Graph Database Platform, which manages graph databases with node-edge structures.
  • Column-Family Database Platform, which manages columnar databases.
  • File System, which manages files without database functionality.
