Databases: The Model

Vinay Trivedi

Chapter Chapter 5 in How to Speak Tech, 2014, pp 37-51 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The information that some companies collect is an asset in and of itself due to the power of data. Working for a local business data provider startup, I focused on collecting menus from local businesses, primarily restaurants. With a database of all food items and their prices sold at restaurants, I was able to learn some interesting facts! What is the average price of a pizza in San Francisco, you ask? Which restaurants in a five-mail radius of my hotel have kimchi on the menu? No problem. Collecting such data allows you to answer people’s previously unanswerable questions.
