Redux: Big Data, Big Garbage
Our recent post with the above title received high interest but the eye-catching title merely refers to a topic of an event. Here are some possbilities big data could have big issues: [via 1]
- Volume - So much data, there is nowhere to store it, or is dropped
- Velocity - Comes in so fast, it can't be captured readily
- Variety - Arrives in all shapes and sizes not just numbers and text
- Veracity - Is the data valid, accurate, complete or otherwise?
- Value - Is the data a value to you, and society (eg. privacy, security)?
