Abstract Platform as a service model has certain obstacles, including data lock-in. It is expensive and time-consuming to move data to the alternative providers. This paper presents data storage options in platform as a service offers and identifies the most common data portability problems between various commercial providers of platform as a service. There are differences among their storage models, data types, remote APIs for data manipulation and query languages. Representing data models of platform as a service and data mappings by means of ontology can provide a common layer to achieve data portability among different cloud providers.

Ontologies have been used to support the interoperability of geospatial data by overcoming semantic problems related to semantic heterogeneities and to differences in data usage contexts. Ideally, to solve semantic heterogeneities, the data models involved in the interoperability process could be enriched, and the relationships between their elements could be defined based on a universal geospatial ontology. However, such ontology would encounter difficulties in achieving an efficient interoperability. This chapter aims to argue that universal ontology-based interoperability remains vulnerable to the risks of uncertain meaning of geospatial data that may go unnoticed during the interoperability process. The chapter discusses these risks and proposes a systematic approach to better support users dealing with them. The proposed approach identifies the risks, assesses their severity, and helps users to make decisions about them.

We can define as spatiotemporal any database that maintains objects with geometric properties that change over time, where usual geometric properties are the spatial position and spatial extent of an object in a specific d-dimensional space. The need to use spatiotemporal databases appears in a variety of applications such as intelligent transportation systems, cellular communications, and meteorology monitoring. This field of database research collaborates tightly with other research areas such as mobile telecommunications, and is harmonically integrated with other disciplines such as CAD/CAM, GIS, environmental science, and bioinformatics. Spatiotemporal databases stand at the crossroad of two other database research areas: spatial databases (Güting, 1994; Gaede & Gunther, 1998) and temporal databases (Salzberg & Tsotras, 1999). The efficient implementation of spatiotemporal databases needs new data models and query languages and novel access structures for storing and accessing information. In Güting, Bohlen, Erwig, Jensen, Lorentzos, Schneider, and Vazirgiannis (2000) a data model and a query language capable of handling such time-dependent geometries, including those changing continuously that describe moving objects, were proposed; the basic idea was to represent time-dependent geometries as attribute data types and to provide an abstract data type extension to the traditional database data models and query languages. In that paper, it was also discussed how various temporal and spatial models could possibly be extended to be spatiotemporal models.
