Rebranding the Big Data Analytics IG

19 Jan 2015
Groups audience: 

Hello RDA people,
the Big Data Analytics Interest Group is considering to broaden its
scope towards Big Data in general. We have received requests to talk
more about:
* Big Data Analytics (remains)
* Big Data Curation
* Big Data Infrastructures
* Big Data Management
* Big Data Teaching/Courses
We would like to collect feedback, whether the RDA community is
interested in these topics or wants us even to pick up other Big Data
related ideas.
On behalf of the Big Data Analytics IG,
Markus

    Markus-
    we already had a unanimous vote for "Big Data Analytics -> Big Data" during the
    RDA telecon, so I guess what you wanted to ask is for further Big Data topics to
    be addressed in RDA, as well as champions.
    From my side, Id be interested in
    Big Data Management (databases, query languages, etc)
    Big Data Applications (Geo already covered, but Life & Space Science, as
    well as statistics, uncovered)
    cheers,
    Peter

    Markus,
    I am glad to see this group make a move to a broader agenda for big data than just analytics. Big Data is an important topic with a lot of top-level attention, so this move to the external world is likely to be seen as a fuller RDA response to that.
    As to education, RDA has a
    RDA/CODATA Summer Schools in Data Science and Cloud Computing in the Developing World WG
    that likely covers some of the education space in big data.
    cheerfully

    Dear all:

    This is to confirm that I am interested in Big Data curation, Big Data management (all aspects of the Big Data lifecycle), and skill requirements to handle Big Data.

    (I'll repost to the list)

    Dear Peter and Markus,
    I agree with your selection on BD Management and Applications. In addition, we might want to think about the following topics as well:
    * BD Visualization
    * BD Machine Learning Algorithms
    * BD Security and Privacy
    The above topics may overlapping with others and it is ok to be sub-topics if is needed.
    Thanks much for your effort!

    Dear all,
    I'm interested in Big Data Infrastructures as a new topic. It is quite
    near of "Big Bata Architectures", which could be alternative term for
    this (perhaps little bit broader viewpoint, but still same idea, I think).
    I also agree with this selection, especially Big Data Management as a
    new topic. Big Data Machine Learning Algorithms is good idea as well.
