My presentation on big data for the upcoming BI Summit in Barcelona is obsolete. In this presentation, I use the Gartner Hype Cycle curve to show that big data is at the peak of inflated expectations. And, as it happens with quickly developing technologies, I am already behind and big data goes ahead. Last several [...]

A graph states that something is related to something else: people to people, molecules to molecules, habits to habits. Graph traversals are about paths: of ideas, time or viruses. Russian for “graph” is “граф,” which also means “earl.” In my adolescence, I thought that graph theory is about nobility, and despite my math education, a [...]

I cover big data and data governance. Both are equally challenging and both promise to save the world. Until recently, I had a false idea, that one of these topics is mainstream and another one is on sidelines for everyone other than me and a dozen people like Andrew White or Joe Bugajski. The latter is [...]

“Imagine a revolution from 80-character punch cards to 140-character tweets,” — this Jack Santos punch line has been tweeted and re-tweeted on Day 1 of the Gartner Catalyst conference (#GartnerCat) last week. Coming back from Catalyst was like returning from a whitewater trip: the same sense of excitement and learning about yourself under extreme conditions. [...]

Technology robs words of their intrinsic meaning: what happened to “like” and “friend”? Is it true that Facebook patented “face”? What is “oracle”? Who is Cassandra — a NoSQL database or a Trojan princess, who had a gift of prophecy and whom Apollo cursed never to be believed? At this week’s Cassandra Summit, I learned [...]

Big data haute couture roughly illustrates the state of the market. The question is: does a big data market exist? “Good morning I’m the global waiter at IT infrastructure solutions I was following up on your attendance at the hi dude summit that was held June 13 and fourteenth,” — I love my email for [...]

“Never odd or even” — palindromes draw respect when they carry at least some spark of meaning; you’ll even read them twice. Some time ago, a good friend of mine came up with the idea of pseudo-palindromes (the same abrupt absurd and worthlessness), but you’ll read them twice anyway: “Eat timely Nathan. Want tea? ” [...]

My fellow Gartner analysts just published a finalized definition of big data, and I am playing with big data visualization, or to be more precise, infographics. The difference between data visualization and infographics is that infographics does not change when data changes, consequently, data visualization is tied dymanically to the real thing, or sometimes, Internet [...]
