Risk analysis of using big data in computer sciences

Silva, Jesus | 2019

Today, as technologies mature and people are encouraged to contribute data to organizations’ databases, more transactions are being captured than ever before. Meanwhile, improvements in data storage technologies have made the cost of evaluating, selecting, and destroying legacy data considerably greater than simply letting it accumulate. On the one hand, the excess of stored data has considerably increased the opportunities to interrelate and analyze them, while the moderate enthusiasm generated by data warehousing and data mining in the 1990s has been replaced by a rampant euphoria about big data and data analytics. But, is this as wonderful as seems? This paper presents a risk analysis of Big Data and Big Data Analytics based on a review of quality factors.
