Big data

Interesting series of videos by Jeff Jonas, "Mister Data" at IBM:

See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data

Two problems:
1. How to deal with huge volume of data? How to exploit it, understand trends, cycles, etc. ?
2. How to bring sense, meaning into that big data?

For #1, see Attivio, ClickFox or Aqumin for new technologies being able to nicely display huge amount of real-time data.

For #2, connect data together, build a context around it. It's all about semantics.

How should we react when reading posts like this in 2010?
It's like being back 15 years earlier.
How is that possible to write so many irrelevant statements in a single post?

The so-called "pragmatic" approach has given birth to so many useless frameworks like this one.

The good news is there is still a need for a comprehensive data manipulation solution.

JBoss Teiid

Seems to me this is a basically a kind of repackaging of their good old  metamatrix offer, with all its benefits and limitations.
Anyway, it seems RedHat is going in the right direction.

Any feedback from user would be welcome.
