Who on earth is creating “Big data”?
With all the news about “Big Data”, I had a question:
Where does Big Data come from?
So I researched and here are the Big Data “Sources” that I found:
1. Enterprise data (emails, word documents, pdf’s, etc)
2. Transactions
3. Social Media
4. Sensor Data
5. Public Data (energy, world resource, labor statistics etc)
Am I missing anything? Please feel free to point those out!
Update [11 July] : Claytonbingham adds “Academic Data” to the list, which I think sometimes can also be referred to as “scientific data” (Thanks Claytonbingham! please refer to comments section for his thoughts)
