Pete Warden is spot on about being sceptical of data, but it is data visualisation, not data science, where caution is most crucial

We can live with many of the uncertainties of big data for now, with the hope that its benefits will outweigh its harms, but we shouldn't blind ourselves to the possible irreversibility of changes—whether good or bad—to society.

A Gartner report by Hung LeHong published earlier this year stated that much of the value of the Internet of Things (IoT) will come from the data it will generate. This, the report said, will make big data analysis a cornerstone of the success of the IoT, and a clear reason for CIOs to be involved. Brainstorm spoke to three CIOs about what level of strategic thought they’ve given to the IoT, and how they’ll deal with the volumes of data it will doubtless generate.

To make the data useful, you need to turn it into a narrative. To do that at scale, you need machines.

There’s already a ton of data flying around, but the amount just scratches the surface of the data deluge that will come with the Internet of Things. Better get ready, says Snaplogic CEO Gaurav Dhillon.

Le mouvement d'ouverture des données publiques concerne aujourd’hui un nombre grandissant d'Etats et d'administrations. De New York à Paris, de Nairobi à Singapour, de plus en plus de territoires proposent des jeux de données en open data. Pour comprendre les enjeux de ce mouvement, l'une des premières idées techno-politiques à se diffuser à la vitesse des réseaux, il faut revenir sur ses origines. Il se trouve en effet au croisement de plusieurs cultures.

The intent of Gartner’s advice is to restore order while we provide guidance to a panicking throng scrambling to buy limited edition big data toys. Gartner has advised caution to the market. But, panic in the streets and chaos often drowns out reasonable advice. Gartner believes big data is headed for the Trough of Disillusionment.

A question I often get when discussing online qualitative exercises is: what does the output look like? It’s true that qualitative data doesn’t come as easily packaged in a nice graph or chart as quantitative data does. In fact, how you analyze and captivatingly display qualitative results is a process that requires not only an analytical and logical mind but also a creative touch.

In continuing the search for open data one cannot possibly overlook the W3C (the World Wide Web Consortium). In my opinion the W3C has had more impact on our information technology lives over the past 18+ years than any other open standards or open source entity. [...] Specific to open data, W3C continues to play a central, albeit heretofore relatively quiet, role; that quietude will soon change. Despite the hype around Apache Hadoop and related open source “big data” projects, if one considers the term “big data” from a wider context, all the way out to what I like to call the Data Economy, then W3C plays a more strategic role than Hadoop and its many cousins. Let’s explore further.

At a time when journalism is undergoing a profound crisis as a result of the rise of social networks, financing difficulties, and increasing layoffs in the media industry, the 1st Data Journalism Conference organised by the Spanish chapter of the Open Knowledge Foundation opened up a new direction for the profession; a future that paradoxically goes back to its origins: to the search for new sources, to objective accounts of events and to data analysis.

A full 90 percent of all the data in the world has been generated over the last two years. Internet-based companies are awash with data that can be grouped and utilized. Is this a good thing?

Simple data analytics can sometimes seem like a misnomer. Technology that’s simple for engineers and IT may add complexity to business processes. And the inverse can be true for implementing agile analytics into traditional Business Intelligence (BI) systems. We often hear from customers in industries--ranging from retail to hospitality--that highly skilled teams struggle to deliver what the organization really needs: actionable and data-driven business insights.
