Abstract
Database Management Systems (DBMSs) have been rapidly evolving in the recent years, exploring ways to store multi-structured data or to involve human processes during query execution. In this paper, we outline a future avenue for DBMSs supporting transactive memory queries that can only be answered by a collection of individuals connected through a given interaction graph. We present TransactiveDB and its ecosystem, which allow users to pose queries in order to reconstruct collective human memories. We describe a set of new transactive operators including TUnion, TFill, TJoin, and TProjection. We also describe how TransactiveDB leverages transactive operators-by mixing query execution, social network analysis and human computation-in order to effectively and eficiently tap into the memories of all targeted users.
