Opendata business. OpéraBis – L'opéra de Rennes dans un monde virtuel. Five big data predictions for 2012. As the “coming out” year for big data and data science draws to a close, what can we expect over the next 12 months? More powerful and expressive tools for analysis This year has seen consolidation and engineering around improving the basic storage and data processing engines of NoSQL and Hadoop. That will doubtless continue, as we see the unruly menagerie of the Hadoop universe increasingly packaged into distributions, appliances and on-demand cloud services. Hopefully it won’t be long before that’s dull, yet necessary, infrastructure. Looking up the stack, there’s already an early cohort of tools directed at programmers and data scientists (Karmasphere, Datameer), as well as Hadoop connectors for established analytical tools such as Tableau and R.
But there’s a way to go in making big data more powerful: that is, to decrease the cost of creating experiments. Here are two ways in which big data can be made more powerful. Better programming language support. Streaming data processing. Atelier : visualisons la donnée financière associative. Jeudi 29 et vendredi 30 juin, Bug participe à l’atelier co-conception « visualisons l’information rennaise » à La Cantine Numérique Rennaise, animé par Christophe Cariou (Everydatalab). L’objectif de ces deux journées est de réfléchir, expérimenter et réaliser des valorisations possibles des données libérées par Rennes Métropole sous la forme de visualisations d’informations.
Nous n’arrivons pas les mains dans les poches, mais avec un projet à finaliser : rendre intelligible les données financières du domaine associatif, libérées par la ville de Rennes au printemps, et pour le moment peu exploitées. Parmi ces données, des fichiers excel principalement : on retrouve les subventions aux associations, subventions de fonctionnement et subventions exceptionnelles. Objectif 1 : comparaison par ville Notre premier objectif est d’établir une comparaison entre différentes villes, quant à leur engagement dans le secteur associatif. Nous choisissons Brest, Nantes, et Nice.

Next week hundreds of public servants, developers, journalists and NGOs from around the world will gather in a former factory building in Warsaw to swap ideas, write code and meet people behind open data projects in dozens of countries around the world. Last year's event helped to catalyse dozens of grassroots and official open data initiatives, established lasting contact between pioneering advocates and public officials. This year's event will be even bigger, with representatives from dozens of countries, over 30 partner organisations, and direction from the great and the good from the open data community all over the world.
Participants at Open Government Data Camp 2010 It's been over five years since the Guardian launched its influential Free Our Data campaign. But despite this enthusiastic and energetic reception, open data has not been without its setbacks and there are still huge challenges ahead.
