  This paper explores methodologies, advantages and challenges related to the
use of the Information Centric Network technology for developing NoSQL
distributed databases, which are expected to play a central role in the
forthcoming IoT and BigData era. ICN services make possible to simplify the
development of the database software, improve performance, and provide
data-level access control. We use our findings for devising a NoSQL
spatio-temporal database, named OpenGeoBase, and evaluate its performance with
a real data set related to Intelligent Transport System applications.
