WHAT IS BIG DATA?
In statistics and computer science, the English [masse di] term big data,or big data,generically indicates a collection of information data so extensive in terms of volume, speed and variety that specific technologies and analytical methods for extracting value or knowledge are required. The term is therefore used in reference to the ability (proper of data science) to analyze or extrapolate and relate a huge amount of heterogeneous, structured and unstructured data (thanks to sophisticated statistical and computer methods to discover the links between different phenomena (e.g. correlations) and predict future phenomena.
What is the LOGISTICS OF THE DATA?
Ethymologically, the term“logistics”derives from the Greek “logikos” which means “that makes logical sense”, in turn derived from “l’gos”, “word” or “order”, for the Greeks the two concepts were closely related and expressed with the same word. From thegos also derives “logical” i.e. the study of the arguments and the way in which they are correct, so that term, as we see, refers to the same concept of “order”.
In computer science, the term DATO, represents the single information that can be encoded or encoded.
For Anthilla,the union of these two terms leads to the definition of DATA LOGISTIC OR the tracking, storing, processing the data always and anyway, keeping track of all the steps and actions taken on the data itself and the processes related to data management.
