IBM is working on providing a solution which converts audio . video.How to Store Unstructured Data? Unstructured data may be be converted to formats which are easily managed. etc. For example. stored and searched. How to Extract Information from Unstructured Data? Unstructured data is not easily interpreted by conventional search algorithms As the data grows it is not possible to put tags manually Challenges faced Designing algorithms to understand the meaning of the document and then tag or index them accordingly is difficult Computer programs cannot automatically derive meaning/structure from unstructured data Increasing number of file formats make it difficult to interpret data Different naming conventions followed across organization make it difficult to classify data. the . synonyms . Possible solutions Application platforms like XOLAP help extract information from e-mail and XML based documents Taxonomies within the organization can be managed automatically to organize data in hierarchical structures Following naming conventions or standards across an organization can greatly improve storage and retrieval . Documentum provides this type of solution Text mining tools help in grouping and classifying unstructured data and analyze by considering grammar.

What is Semi-structured Data? . Where does Semi-structured Data Come from? Semi-structured data . How to Manage Semi-structured Data? Some ways in which semi-structured data is managed and stored . Interpreting relationships and correlations is very difficult Schemas keep changing with requirements making it difficult to capture it in a database Vague distinction between schema and data exists at times making it difficult to capture data .How to Store Semi-structured Data? Storing data with their schemas increases cost Semi-structured data cannot be stored in existing RDBMS as data cannot be mapped into tables directly Some data elements may have extra information while others none at all Challenges faced In many cases the structure is implicit. Data can be stored in a hierarchical/nested structure Semi-structured data can be stored in a relational database by mapping the data to a relational schema which is then mapped to a table Possible solutions Databases which are specifically designed to store semi-structured data Data can be stored and exchanged in the form of graph where entities are represented as objects which are the vertices in a graph .How to Store Semi-structured Data? XML allows to define tags and attributes to store data. How to Extract Information from Semi-structured Data? Semi-structured is usually stored in flat files which are difficult to index and search Challenges faced Data comes from varied sources which is difficult to tag and search Extracting structure when there is none and interpreting the relations existing in the structure which is present is a difficult task . schemas. . etc.How to Extract Information from Semi-structured Data? Indexing data in a graph-based model enables quick search Allows data to be stored in a graph-based data model which is easier to index and search Possible solutions Allows data to be arranged in a hierarchical or tree-like structure which enables indexing and searching Various mining tools are available which search data based on graphs. structure.
