Meaning of Big Data
Big data is a blanket term for
any 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, storage, search, sharing,
transfer, analysis 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”. In today’s world Data are being captured every second
by corporates, mobile and internet service providers, and many more. These data
are captured to give you a perfect experience of life.
