John, (01)
Which is why "Big Data" is typically pitched as being all about the
exponential effects: (02)
1. data volume
2. data velocity
3. data variety. (03)
Unfortunately, for the proponent of this particular meme, they omit
"data verity" which is exactly where the virtues of machine
comprehensible semantics delivered by self-describing structured data
comes into play. Basically, they never hone into the real problem, one
that's 40+ years old, at the very least. (04)
When all is said an done, the mercurial pursuit (40+ years and
counting) is still all about agility driven by insights culled from
heterogeneously shaped data, accessible from disparate network locations. (05)
To me, meme labels and monikers just don't matter, substance of the
matter -- insightful data access, integration, and management -- is
ultimately the immutable item of relevance :-) (06)
