Systems and methods for managing distributed data using any of a plurality of data models are disclosed. One method includes receiving a data request from one of a plurality of database interfaces, each database interface associated with a different data model type. The method further includes translating the data request to a second data request based at least in part on a data model neutral description of a data model in the data store that is associated with data and the database interface, wherein the data store maintains descriptions of each of a plurality of different data models corresponding to the different data model types. The method also includes executing the second data request, thereby reflecting the data request in data storage such that data is managed consistently across each of the plurality of database interfaces.
