IS BIG DATA MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER BUZZWORD?

SOME THOUGHTS ON BIG DATA IN GISCIENCE...

DO THESE BUZZWORDS SHARE A COMMON CORE?

Digital Earth as a multi-thematic and multi-perspectiveknowledge archivee-Science as an infrastructure to share data and modelsand to enable collaborationSmart Dust as self-organizing, ubiquitous sensor networksLinked Data as a global graph connecting raw data to makethem accessible and re-usable

Is Big Data a paradigm shift towards data-intensive,collaborative science in which models and data are shared?

THE THREE V’S OF BIG DATA

Volume: The size of the involved data, their multi-dimensionalnature, as well as their inter-linkage which creates a global graph.E.g., Volunteered Geographic Information, Location-based SocialNetworks, sensor networks, high resolution remote sensing data,complex transportation simulations. V

Variety: The number of sources and type of data is increasing aswell. Combining social media with authoritative sources andintegrating different formats such as video, audio, photo, and textallows a more holistic analysis but raises new issues in dataintegration. V

Velocity: Big Data is not only about large amounts of data but alsothe speed at which data is created and updated. A rapidlyincreasing number of data sources deliver near real-time datawhich poses new challenges for stream reasoning and rulesystems, which data do we keep? V

NSF EARTH CUBE

’NSF seeks [...] approaches to create integrated data managementinfrastructures across the Geosciences. [...] recognize the multifacetedchallenges of modern, data-intensive science and education and envisionan environment where low adoption thresholds and new capabilities acttogether to greatly increase the productivity and capability of researchers andeducators [...].’ (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/)
