Big data, the semantic web and its impact on organisations and society
Big data is a popular topic that has made its way into the conversation about the semantic web and how large data sets will change the way in which organisations operate, communicate to and interact with society.
Using a case study of your choice, explore and interrogate the concept of big data in relation to the future of the ’web of things’:
• What does ‘big data’ mean in the context of your case study?
• How is this data accessed and gathered?
• How can it be interpreted to have a potential impact on organisations and society?
