**ing:** Multimodal data presents a unique challenge: how to represent information from disparate sources (e.g., a photograph and its textual description) in a shared semantic space. This is typically achieved by training large neural network models that produce multimodal embeddings, where vectors for related concepts from different modalities are located close to each other in the high-dimensional space [27]. A key optimization within the HMGI framework is modality-aware partitioning. Instead of treating all embeddings monolithically, HMGI conceptually separates them based on their source modality. This has several algorithmic advantages: Specialized Indexing: Different modalities can have different statistical properties and dimensionalities. Partitioning allows for the creation of separate, fine-tuned vector indexes for each modality (e.g., one HNSW graph for image embeddings, another for text embeddings), potentially with different parameters (M, efConstruction) for optimal performance [31]. Reduced Search Space: Queries that are specific to a single modality only need to search within the corresponding partition, drastically reducing computational overhead. Cross-modal queries can be resolved by searching one partition and then using the resulting vectors to query another, or by leveraging a unified index if a joint embedding space is used [18]. Disentangled Representation: Research such as the "Partitioner Guided Modal Learning Framework" [31] suggests that modal

instance, PostgreSQL extensions like pgvector enable approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) indexing, but they are retrofitted solutions that often incur high overhead and lack seamless integration with relational queries [43]. Moreover, rigid schemas hinder flexibility; altering structures for evolving data types requires costly migrations, making them ill-suited for dynamic multimodal datasets where embeddings can vary in dimensionality and modality [61]. The rise of NoSQL databases in the early 2010s, including document stores (e.g., MongoDB), keyvalue stores (e.g., Redis), and wide-column stores (e.g., Cassandra), addressed some scalability issues by offering schema-less designs and horizontal scaling. However, these systems still fall short in handling complex relationships and vector searches natively. For example, while MongoDB’s Atlas Search supports full-text and vector capabilities, it separates them from relational operations, leading to fragmented query processing and potential inconsistencies [8]. Experimental studies have shown that traditional databases can experience query latencies 5–10 times higher than specialized systems for hybrid tasks involving both relational joins and vector similarity, particularly in datasets exceeding 100 million records [57]. These limitations have driven the evolution toward specialized databases, but traditional systems remain prevalent in legacy environments, underscoring the need for hybrid approaches that bridge structured

Building on these frontiers, the HMGI framework has several avenues for future development: Automated Partitioning and Clustering: Instead of manual partitioning by modality, an advanced HMGI could use unsupervised learning to automatically discover and create partitions or clusters within the data, adapting the index structure to the inherent semantics of the dataset. Hardware Acceleration: The core ANNS computations are well-suited for hardware acceleration on GPUs or specialized ASICs. A future HMGI system could offload these computations to dedicated hardware while the

Dataspaces represent a paradigm shift in data management, moving away from the tight integration required by traditional databases toward a more flexible, pay-as-you-go model for handling heterogeneous and loosely coupled data sources. Introduced by Franklin et al. in 2005, dataspaces are defined as a collection of interrelated data sources that can be queried and navigated without full upfront integration, supported by Dataspace Support Platforms (DSSPs) that provide services like search, discovery, and incremental refinement [25]. Unlike data warehouses or lakes, which centralize and homogenize data, dataspaces emphasize coexistence and gradual harmonization, making them ideal for environments with diverse data formats, ownership, and quality levels [28]. In practice, dataspaces facilitate secure data sharing across organizations while preserving data sovereignty. For instance, the European Union’s Data Strategy promotes data spaces in sectors like health, mobility, and manufacturing, where participants can exchange data via standardized connectors without relinquishing control [24]. Systems like AWS Data Exchange or VAST DataSpace exemplify this by enabling seamless data movement and access across distributed environments, using metadata catalogs and semantic mappings to resolve inconsistencies on-the-fly [5, 45]. Research highlights their utility in big data ecosystems, where traditional integration is prohibitively expensive; instead, dataspaces employ probabilistic

The Hybrid Multimodal Graph Index (HMGI) demonstrates the feasibility of unifying graph-based and vector-based retrieval into a single coherent architecture for multimodal data discovery. Its ability to jointly leverage relational context and dense embeddings marks a step forward in bridging symbolic and sub-symbolic representations within modern data management systems. Nevertheless, the current implementation highlights several design trade-offs, resource dependencies, and generalization challenges that warrant deeper consideration.

These comparisons revealed that partitioned strategies excelled in accuracy for disambiguating polysemous terms, such as distinguishing Apple the fruit from the company via relational paths, but at the expense of storage efficiency [67]. Critical analysis of stateof-the-art methods uncovered several key issues and gaps. Native integrations like TigerVector and NaviX achieved robust predicateagnostic search, where vector ANNS was filtered by arbitrary graph predicates, but struggled with update-intensive workloads; HNSW index rebuilds could take hours for large graphs, leading to stale results in streaming applications [55]. Multimodal systems exhibited modality bias, with unified embeddings underperforming on cross-modal tasks by 10-20% compared to specialized models, as large language models[13] favored dominant modalities like text over images or audio [31]. Gaps in handling data sparsity persisted, where knowledge graphs with low connectivity suffered from incomplete semantic coverage, and hybrid queries beyond three hops incurred exponential traversal costs without advanced pruning [12, 54]. Experimental evaluations demonstrated that while recall exceeded 95% for simple similarity searches, hybrid scenarios dropped upto 85% due to mismatches between vector proximity and relational constraints, highlighting the need for better fusion mechanisms [50, 60]. Challenges in scalability arose from hardware dependencies; CPU-based traversals limited throughput in large-scale

HMGI supports real-time data streams through multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) with a delta store for insertions, updates, and deletions [3]. Queries hybridize results: ANNS on the stable index plus brute-force on the delta, maintaining freshness with <1% degradation. Asynchronous vacuuming periodically flushes deltas to disk and merges incrementally into snapshots, avoiding full rebuilds [64]. Thread allocation adapts to CPU utilization, optimizing merge overhead [69]. This ensures sub-linear update latency, critical for dynamic environments.
