This document discusses big data and big geo data. It begins by defining big data and noting the challenges of collecting, managing, storing, searching, sharing, transferring, analyzing and visualizing large, complex datasets. It then discusses using big data as an opportunity rather than a threat by developing new ways to store and analyze diverse data to generate insights. Specific examples discussed include data used by Amazon, Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, meteorology, lidar data, and linked open data projects in the UK and Netherlands. The document raises potential applications of big data for the Dutch Cadastre, including data analysis, linking datasets, real-time access, multidimensional visualization and querying basic registrations.

Wat is Big Data?
4
Big data is the term for a collection of
data sets so large and complex that it
becomes difficult to process using
on-hand database management tools
or traditional data processing
applications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data

Opportunity or Threat?

The opportunity of big data is also its challenge. We are drowning
in data, and tweets, posts and video are not the structured data
that fits well into relational databases for traditional querying. As
a result, big data simply requires a new way of thinking about
how to store and analyze data to accommodate these new
realities and turn insights into actionable decisions.

Big data is high volume, high velocity,
and/or high variety information assets that
require new forms of processing to enable
enhanced decision making, insight
discovery and process optimization.

Veracity: Professional managers are wary of
unverified data. Since much of the data deluge
comes from anonymous and unverified sources, it
is necessary to establish and flag the quality of the
data before it is included in any ensemble.

Amazon pioneered the use of big data analytics in
e-commerce, web personalization, multivariate
testing of product offerings, and inference engines
to predict consumer preferences.

geospatial data is available to allow
users to analyze massive volumes of
geospatial data.

Big Data is not only big because it involves a huge amount of
data, but also because of the high-dimensionality and inter-
linkage of the involved data sets. The on-the-fly integration of
heterogeneous data from various sources has been named
one of the frontiers of Digital Earth research, Bioinformatics, the
Digital Humanities, and other emerging research visions.
