New Open Source community edition of SheafSystem's library released

LIVERMORE, USA: Limit Point Systems announced the immediate availability of a new open source release of its SheafSystem™.

The SheafSystem™ libraries implement the sheaf data model, a non-relational data model designed for representation, manipulation, and storage of the large and complex data sets common in scientific and technical computing. These data sets represent the topological, geometric, and algebraic information required by mathematics-based scientific and technical computing applications.

They are much more structured than the "unstructured" data that is the focus of the "noSQL" category of non-relational data management technologies and also more structured than the tables of the relational model. The SheafSystem™ uses advanced mathematics - posets, lattices, sheaves, and fiber bundles - to revolutionize data management for this highly structured region of the data complexity spectrum.

"We have implemented the sheaf data model as a layered set of C++ class libraries with bindings for Java, Python, and C#. These libraries allow an application programmer to easily create, manipulate, store, retrieve, and inter-operate diverse representations of physical data - whether it comes from observations, experiments, or simulations."
