LESSON NOTES
============
Big data is three things in one. When we use the term ‘big data’ we could be talking about the:
1. scale of big data sets
2. discipline of capturing, storing, and analysing them, or
3. technology set that allows this
The first of these is most often used, so here is my definition of Big Data:
'Big data means the immense data sets that we can analyse to reveal patterns, trends, and correlations, to help us make predictions and therefore decisions, about human behaviour and the systems we have created.'
But there is another definition that deserves a special mention. Near the start of all this, analysis agency Gartner Group, gave this definition:
'Big data is data that contains greater variety arriving in increasing volumes and with ever-higher velocity.'
With this definition, they coined the ‘three Vs’:
1. Variety
2. Volume
3. Velocity
These are core to understanding what big data is.
More recently, other organisations and analysts have added to them:
4. Veracity
5. Variability
...and more.
All of them together create a vast complexity.
