I am really surprised that while everyone talks about SQL vs NoSQL, nobody has mentioned RDF as a model and SPARQL as a language. Graph-like structures based on triples allow the data relations to be represented properly (relational properties), while not limiting the data structure. This is not a shiny hot thing, but instead something developed over many years by (mostly) academics. Take a look at the tutorial: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-rdf11-primer-20140225/ https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-rdf11-primer-20140225/ And just to prove that RDF is a model, but not a format, look at JSON-LD as a serialisation format for RDF and at the SQLGraph [1] paper from Google to see how RDF can be implemented on top of an SQL RDBMS.
