Building an industrial community around Big Data in Europe is the priority of the BIG: Big Data Public Private Forum project. In this workshop we will present the work of the project including analysis of foundational Big Data research technologies, technology and strategy roadmaps to enable business to understand the potential of Big Data technologies, and the necessary collaboration and dissemination infrastructure to link technology suppliers, integrators and leading user organizations. BIG is working towards the definition and implementation of a clear strategy that tackles the necessary efforts in terms of Big Data research and innovation, while also providing a major boost for technology adoption and supporting actions for the successful implementation of the Big Data economy.

……A CALL FOR ACTION
“a public private partnership…can
be a powerful way to work together…
Public money is not free money.
Before you can unlock it you need a
very clear plan, showing how any
public investment will work, how it
connects to the activities around it,
and how it will pay off…we need a
Strategic Research and
Innovation Agenda … from a
broad, inclusive and representative
basis, pulling together different
priorities, so they make sense………
we need to do all this quickly, and
to the highest quality”
Neelie Kroes
Vice-President of the
European Commission

The BIG Project
BIG aims to promote a well-developed EU industrial
landscape in Big Data:
▶ Providing a clear picture of existing technology trends and
their maturity
▶ Acquiring a sharp understanding of how Big Data can be
applied to concrete environments / use cases
▶ Pushing European Big Data research and innovation to
contribute in increasing European competitiveness
▶ Building a self-sustainable, industry-led initiative
Overall Objective
Work at technical, business and policy levels, shaping
the future through the positioning of IIM and Big Data
specifically in Horizon 2020.
Bringing the necessary stakeholders into a self-
sustainable industry-led initiative, which will greatly
contribute to enhance the EU competitiveness taking
full advantage of Big Data technologies.

KEY INSIGHTS
Key Trends
▶ Lower usability barrier for data tools
▶ Blended human and algorithmic data processing for coping with
for data quality
▶ Leveraging large communities (crowds)
▶ Need for semantic standardized data representation
▶ Significant increase in use of new data models (i.e. graph)
(expressivity and flexibility)
▶ Much of (Big Data) technology
is evolving evolutionary
▶ But business processes change
must be revolutionary
▶ Data variety and verifiability
are key opportunities
▶ Long tail of data variety is a
major shift in the data landscape
The Data Landscape
▶ Lack of Business-driven Big
Data strategies
▶ Need for format and data
storage technology standards
▶ Data exchange between
companies, institutions,
individuals, etc.
▶ Regulations & markets for data
access
▶ Human resources: Lack of
skilled data scientists
