What is “big” data now that you can put a 1TB Flash drive and a 3TB hard drive in the average laptop? It’s all big data compared to past technologies, so when should the word change to medium data, or small data? I agree that the real complexity is in the interrelationships among the data entities, and ambiguities inherent in natural language columns of data, that make the whole technology challenging. -Rich Sincerely, Rich Cooper EnglishLogicKernel.com Rich AT EnglishLogicKernel DOT com 9 4 9 \ 5 2 5 - 5 7 1 2 From: ontolog-forum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ontolog-forum-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jack Hodges

Being new to this forum I may hit an "out of bounds", but my I7 tells me
"big data" should not even be about that "big". Size doesn't matter.
It's the complexity of data, and it's not even that. It's the complexity
of the structure of the data, like it's all about the complexity of the
anatomy of the swing, not just the complexity of the swing. A "big
swing" mostly brings you out of bounds, in particular when you focus on
that "big". Or at least, it produces a huge slice.
Data "mining" is really silly, if you ask me, and I for one think we
should reserve "mining" just for minerals, not for knowledge.
It's all about what logic really is, and isn't, isn't it?
Cheers,
Patrik
