We've written so much about big data and the role of proper systems management, and yet it can still be difficult to define. In an article for Aeon, professor Rebecca Lemov referred to "the three Vs", also known as volume, velocity and variety. According to a widespread opinion, Lemov writes, these three elements can separate "big data" sets from other kinds.
While this might be a common way to think of it, Lemov also argued that big data is often personal and driven by human users. To stay aware of new changes, users therefore have to be aware of "the human in the data machine," she wrote.
"Big data is not a project suddenly spawned by our just-now-invented digital technologies, although it is transformed by them," Lemov said. "Instead, we can see that it is a project at the driving core of all of modern life. In many ways, it crowns long-held ambitions to build a transparent machinic self, one capable of optimisation as well as automation."
"It can still be difficult to define big data."
