Call for Participation in Big Data Community Group

W3C has launched the Big Data Community Group

This group will explore emerging BIG DATA pipelines and discuss the potential for developing standard architectures, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and languages that will improve interoperability, enable security, and lower the overall cost of BIG DATA solutions.

The BIG DATA community group will also develop tools and methods that will enable: a) trust in BIG DATA solutions; b) standard techniques for operating on BIG DATA, and c) increased education and awareness of accuracy and uncertainties associated with applying emerging techniques to BIG DATA.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account.

This group was originally proposed on 2012-04-11. The following people supported its creation: Mary Brady, Dave Lester Lester, Rajendra Akerkar, Tim Finin, David Webber.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
