Definition: Block Storage ABB is an Application Component that enables the behaviour of breaking data into separate pieces (blocks) and storing them with a unique identifier. Source: Inspired in referent cloud service providers Example: The following implementation is an example of how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): Kibana at EU. https://big-data-test-infrastructure.ec.europa.eu/service-offering/kibana_en eira:iopDimension: Structural IoP LOST view: TVI-Data Management and Knowledge Discovery Infrastructure Enablers [Motivation] eira:iopSaliency: Block Storage ABB is salient for technical interoperability because it set up data storage and integration in fixed-sized blocks under a hierarchical infrastructure that permits ensuring their integrity through time.
