Hello,
Is the following definition for "Big Data" from Wikipedia
what we're working with? Or, in the context of Semantic Web and
Applied Ontologies, are we presuming "Big Semantic Data"?
Thanks for your comments.
Big data[1][2]
is the term for a collection of data
sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to
process using on-hand database management tools or traditional
data processing applications. The challenges include capture,
curation, storage,[3]
search, sharing, transfer, analysis,[4]
and visualization. The trend to larger data sets is due to the
additional information derivable from analysis of a single large
set of related data, as compared to separate smaller sets with
the same total amount of data, allowing correlations to be found
to "spot business trends, determine quality of research, prevent
diseases, link legal
citations, combat crime, and determine real-time roadway
traffic conditions."[5][6][7]
