Big data divided (24 march2014)
3 likes2,556 views
The document discusses three potential divides that may emerge in big data research: 1) between developed and developing countries, 2) between academic and commercial sector researchers, and 3) between researchers with strong computational skills versus those with less computational skills. It provides examples of methods used in different country/region contexts and notes a critique of big data research around issues like changing definitions of knowledge, misleading claims of objectivity/accuracy, and new digital divides around data access.
![Yet, there still are serious problems to overcome. A
trenchant critique concerning the big data field as it is
nowadays came in the form of six statements intending
to temper unbridled enthusiasm. [42] These six
provocative statements are:
Big data change the definition of knowledge;
Claims to accuracy and objectivity are misleading;
More data are not always better data;
Taken out of context, big data loses its meaning;
Just because it is accessible, it does not make it ethical;
and
(Limited) access to big data creates a new digital divide.

- 2. The Coming of Triple Divide? There are three main gaps I’d like to emphasize in the present/future of research community: 1) Developing/Transitional VS Developed/Advanced countries, 2) Researcher in academia VS Researcher in commercial sector, 3) Researchers with computational skills VS Less computational scholars.

- 7. Meeting Request : InnovAccer Hi Dr. Park, Hope you are doing well. I would like to introduce myself as Sachin Jaiswal, Co-founder and Head of Academic Relations at InnovAccer, one of the fastest growing research acceleration firm. We have been working with academicians from 35 of the top 100 universities across the globe including researchers from Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, MIT, NUS, and INSEAD. We help researchers with Data Harvesting, Analytics, Visualization and Technology Implementation. Our primary focus is to increase research productivity, reduce research costs and enable researchers focus on the most important facets of their research. You can read more about us here. After going through your research interests, I thought it would be a good idea to set up some time for a short call and explore how we can help you accelerate your research. Let me know a good time and we can schedule a call accordingly. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Sachin Jaiswal Co-Founder and VP Academic Relations

- 19. Today’s “big” is probably tomorrow’s “medium” and next week’s “small” and thus the most effective def ini- tion of “big data” may be derived when the size of data itself becomes part of the research problem. Big data sizes may vary per discipline.
