    Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, talks about his quest to make all knowledge computational -- able to be searched, processed and manipulated. His new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, has no lesser goal than to model and explain the physics underlying the universe.

    Last week ReadWriteWeb asked: "Is Linked Data Gaining Acceptance?" Our answer: definitely yes. Projects like DBPedia, a community effort to structure the information from Wikipedia and provide it as Linked Open Data, have come a long way and work really well. For example, you can search for all scientists born in Zürich, Switzerland.

  • which data is more appropriate - BIG or small
  • most discussion about big data centres on quantity
  • other elements you mention – implication, new models, new decision making approaches – all flow from this abundance of data.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Increased data quantity requires new approaches
  • Is small beautiful? Look at the following links. Big Data, Small Data New Age of Innovation (Prahalad) So you like Big Data
  • reading on Insurers and the work done by Levitt and Dubner on Freakonomics tells us clearly that data not earlier thought relevant or causal can be an efficient predictor.
  • Secondly, strategies designed on BIG data
  • may overpower small data strategies
  • Thirdly, BIG data also has BIG impacting factors.
  • Fourthly, actions taken on BIG data will have big consequences,
  • Lastly, if everybody, big or small, started using BIG analytics, to make decisions
  • companies would anyway lose the competitive differentiator that analytics brings to them.
  • Corresponding to the question, how big does BIG need to be, the question I have is - how small really is small.
  • defining patterns that emerge from very small pieces of data (e.g. synchronicity)
  • how tools for SNA and analysis of BIG data can apply to Learning and Knowledge Analytics
  • at the other end it embraces how small changes can cause long term variations
  • not easy to analyze the small data
  • data that is small enough not to be generalizable

  • Once configured, the system is then able to generate stories at scale without any further human intervention.

      anyone else have a problem with this?
  • For any pool of data, there are always going to be multiple stakeholders, and they should each be receiving their own targeted messaging.
  • But the last mile has to be the Story; the Story that communicates what is happening in the world, and what needs to be done to fix the problems and exploit the opportunities that analysis exposes
  • Tony Searl on 07 Feb 12
     
    Data alone isn't the answer. In fact, from a business perspective, the data is still part of problem. Insight is the answer, which is derived from the data.

    I think there is a potential to inject a feedback mechanism in this course, and any MOOC for that matter, with regard to the helpfulness of reading material in the Syllabus.  I think that would especially suit the Learning & Knowledge Analytics course.

shared by hansdezwart on 23 Jan 11 - Cached
  • Non requirements Discussions on Hypertext have sometimes tackled the problem of copyright enforcement and data security. These are of secondary importance at CERN, where information exchange is still more important than secrecy. Authorisation and accounting systems for hypertext could conceivably be designed which are very sophisticated, but they are not proposed here. In cases where reference must be made to data which is in fact protected, existing file protection systems should be sufficient.
  • In a complex place like CERN, it's not always obvious how to divide people into groups. Imagine making a large three-dimensional model, with people represented by little spheres, and strings between people who have something in common at work.
  • hansdezwart on 23 Jan 11
     
    This document was an attempt to persuade CERN management that a global hypertext system was in CERN's interests. Note that the only name I had for it at this time was "Mesh" -- I decided on "World Wide Web" when writing the code in 1990.

  • data difficulties in "some" cases hardly eviscerate a study of "more than 9,000 districts that enroll more than 85 percent of all U.S. students."
  • Poverty does not make productive, efficient education impossible.

    data was hard to come by in some districts, it was untrustworthy in others and controlling for all relevant variables when comparing school districts is really, really difficult.
