Abstract
We propose a database design methodology for NoSQL systems. The approach is based on NoAM (NoSQL Abstract Model), a novel abstract data model for NoSQL databases, which exploits the commonalities of various NoSQL systems and is used to specify a system-independent representation of the application data. This intermediate representation can be then implemented in target NoSQL databases, taking into account their specific features. Overall, the methodology aims at supporting scalability, performance, and consistency, as needed by next-generation web applications.
