Is Drupal ready for Web 3.0? This is a thinker!

Blockchains could help release the hold of centralized monopolies

Calm before the storm
The birth of blockchain spawned a movement which is set to disrupt the entire tech industry. Blockchain and crypto enthusiasts are calling it the Web 3.0 and it’s looking to make all traditional business models defunct. This is because, in short, the technology will facilitate the decentralization of the World Wide Web, thereby equalizing control and ownership back from the grasp of profit hungry corporations.

The Web 3.0 ecosystem already consists of over 3000 variegated crypto coins and over 900 decentralized apps or DApps (a single DApp can mean a team of up to 50 members, each dedicated to disrupting a specific industry). And even though the industry is still in its infancy, the market cap has already exceeded 800 billion.

Data Models, Database Schemas, and Untructured Data

Posted by jdwalling on April 20, 2018 at 4:07am

This is a continuation of a discussion at SeaDUG that started with using unstructured data via https://www.webcomponents.org/.

I think of data modeling as documenting data requirements. Requirement models are transformed into schema (physical data models) for databases as specifications. My complaint is when Drupal databases are built from specifications in ad hoc fashion, without an all-encompassing model for requirements. Calling an ad hoc database schema "structured data" is like putting lipstick on a pig and admiring its smile.

Is his what you're looking for?

Data Model vs db Schema

Data architecture

Wondering:
1. Do Drupal agencies keep db schemas up-to-date?
2. Are db schemas consulted before making changes to databases with modules and new content types?
3. Who has responsibility for data architecture in Drupal agencies?

I searched for "Drupal Data Architect" jobs.
I found "Drupal Architects" who have programming responsibilities.

Conclusion:
In Drupal/CMS/CMF World, canned db schemas have usurped the need for Data Architects and the concept of "db schema" has replaced the concept of "data model."
