I love Drew’s framework because it gets to the single biggest issue I’ve seen lacking in many brilliant Ph.D’s who have “data scientist” written all over them yet fail to translate knowledge into production code - applied knowledge.

Big Data? No. Big Information as a Service. I've been going through the Gartner hypecycle these last few weeks, regarding Big Data.

Big Data? No. Big Information as a Service

I've been through the Trough of Disillusionment and back, and rocked back and forth a bit even, and I now figured out what's been bugging me so much about it. It reminds me a bit of #E20...First, I didn't think much of Big Data. Then, I thought it would be a great next new thing and bandwagon to jump onto: like datawarehousing it's closely related to Integration so I might get some spin-off. But, that whole last idea quickly faded. And then I went to Pervasive's integration World and got sucked into it all by Mike Hoskins's enthusiasm. I see the largest growth in machine-generated data.
