Abstract

This article describes some of the ongoing research projects related to structured data management at Google today. The organization of Google encourages research scientists to work closely with engineering teams. As a result, the research projects tend to be motivated by real needs faced by Google's products and services, and solutions are put into production and tested rapidly. In addition, because of the sheer scale at which Google operates, the engineering challenges faced by Google's services often require research innovations.
