Facing big data variety in a model driven approach

Despite the benefits of investing in Big Data systems are largely recognised, their adoption have been slower than expected. Actually, organisations and companies cannot migrate their systems to new a technological infrastructure without a safe integration to their legacy systems and data. For these reasons, it is required to evolve Big Data technologies with mature functions for supporting portability, interoperability and reusability. This paper illustrates a practical use case exploiting the Model-driven capabilities of the TOREADOR platform as a way to fast track the uptake of business-driven Big Data models.
