Description: A Quick Definition of Big Data
A Quick Definition of Big Data
Abstract
Modern utilities are focused on regulatory compliance and cost-effective investments and operations. Ongoing advances in collection, management and analysis of data provide new tools like Big Data for addressing both goals. Big Data is famously described in terms of volume, variety, and velocity (Laney, 2001), where:Volume refers to the depth and breadth of data collected; andVariety refers to the increasing number of types and formats of data available; andVelocity refers to the speed at which data are acquired and processed.This description is often referred to as the “3 V’s” of big data. Analysts have since added more V’s, particularly veracity – the quality and trustworthiness of the data – and value (IBM, 2015).
