Some Practical Examples /

Applications of how big data is
used today to deliver real value.
Big Data is
fueled by two
things:
The increasing ‘datafication’
of the world - which means
we generate new data at
frightening rates.

Our increasing ability to

exploit and analyze large
and complex sets of data.
Activity Data
Simple activities like listening to music or reading a book are now
generating data.
Digital music players and eBooks collect data on our activities.

Your smart phone collects data on how you use it, and your web
browser collects information on what you are searching for.
Your credit card company collects data on where you shop, and
your shop collects data on what you buy.
It is hard to imagine any activity that does not generate data.
Conversation Data
Our conversations are now digitally recorded.

It all started with emails but nowadays most of

our conversations leave a digital trail.
Just think of all the conversations we have on
social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
Even many of our phone conversations are now
digitally recorded.
Photo and Video Image Data

Just think about all the pictures we take on our

smart phones or digital cameras. We upload
and share 100s of thousands of them on social
media sites every second.
The increasing amounts of CCTV cameras take
video images and every minute we up-load
hundreds of hours of video images to YouTube
and other sites.
Sensor Data
We are increasingly surrounded by sensors
that collect and share data.
• Take your smart phone, it contains a global positioning
sensor to track exactly where you are every second of
the day,
• it includes an accelometer to track the speed and
direction at which you are travelling.

We now have sensors in many devices and

products

that are able to collect and
process data, we have

Internet fridges, and smart alarms.
of The Internet of Things (IOT)
Things connects these devices
Data that are able to collect and
exchange data in real time
using embedded sensors.
 Big data is a collection of large datasets that
cannot be processed using traditional
computing techniques.

Big data involves data produced by different

devices and applications.

Big data is a term used to describe a

collection of data that is huge in size and yet
growing exponentially with time.

Big Data is one of those things and is

completely transforming the way we do
business and is impacting most other parts of
our lives.

The basic idea behind the phrase 'Big Data' is

that everything we do is increasingly leaving a
digital trace (or data), which we (and others)
can use and analyse.
 With the datafication comes big data, which is often described using the four Vs: Volume, Velocity, Variety and
Veracity
Volume refers to the vast Velocity refers to the Variety refers to the Veracity refers to the
amounts of data generated speed at which new data different types of data. In messiness or

Turning Big Data into Value: The datafication of our world gives us unprecedented amounts of
data in terms of Volume, Velocity, Variety and Veracity. The latest technology such as cloud
computing and distributed systems together with the latest software and analysis approaches allow
us to leverage all types of data to add value.

Cloud computing - the delivery of computing services over the internet.

Data Analytics - broad field of using data and tools to make business decisions.
Processes in
data analytics
Data pipeline:
1. Collecting data
2. Categorizing the data into
structured/unstructured forms, which might
also define next actions.
3. Storing the data / Managing the data,
usually in databases, data lakes, and/or
data warehouses.
4. Performing ETL (extract, transform, load)
5. Analyzing the data to extract patterns,
trends, and insights.
6. Sharing the data to business users or
consumers, often in a dashboard or via
specific storage.
 Through data analytics and data analysis, both
are essential to understand the data as the first
Comparison one is useful in estimating future demands and
the second one is necessary for gaining insight
by analyzing the details of the past data.

Data analysis Data analytics

Data analysis is a process involving the Data analytics is taking the analyzed data
collection, manipulation, and examination and working on it in a meaningful and useful
