Where Is The Real Value in Big Data? via @datafloq @ianacepete

Taking a look at all the activity related to Big Data one should ask the question, how much of Big Data is actually useful. By applying just a little common sense we discover only a small amount of all the data we create today is actually useful. But what should organisations do to create real value with Big Data?

Very interesting article by Pete Ianace on Datafloq.  I kind of think of what he is describing as a XML structure for the data and his example at the end could be a query against the XML.  Either way it is vitally important that we do all this work for Big Data with the goal of making the data available and useful - we can then find ways to understand those uses and start to give value.
