Abstract:
1. A method for providing storage resource management information modeling in a cloud processing environment, comprising: receiving first data from a first data source; modeling the first data according to a semantic model to generate first modeled data, wherein the first modeled data generated according to the semantic model includes at least one first semantic model statement representing the first data, and wherein the at least one first semantic model statement is generated using a semantic protocol or semantic inferencing applied to the first data; receiving second data from a second data source; modeling the second data according to the semantic model to generate second modeled data, wherein the second modeled data generated according to the semantic model includes at least one second semantic model statement representing the second data, wherein the at least one second semantic model statement is generated using the semantic protocol or semantic inferencing applied to the second data; storing the first and second modeled data in a data store of the cloud processing environment, wherein the data store is distributed across a plurality of sites of the cloud processing environment, and wherein the data store includes a series of tree data structure indices that store components of the at least one first and second semantic model statements as integer representations; merging the first and second modeled data including merging the at least one first semantic model statement and the at least one second semantic model statement in the data store using a tree data structure; and in response to a query, accessing the merged first and second modeled data in the data store to service the query.
