Future Data Architectures Big Data Workshop
Hosted By:
Aligned with the activities of the Future Data Architectures Ad Hoc Team, several occasions have been organized this year to advance CEOS’ reflections on Future Data Architectures. Building on the outcomes of the FDA Technical Workshop to be held during the WGISS meeting on April 11th, 2018 in Sao Jose dos Campos Brazil, this workshop will focus on identifying the principal challenges facing CEOS Agencies in maximizing the value of their substantial data holdings in the fast evolving “Big Data” sector.
Objective and Approach of the FDA Workshop
The advent and mainstreaming of Big Data technologies and analytics represents an opportunity for CEOS Agencies to maximize the value from the substantial historical and current data holdings they manage. This workshop will aim to share the experience gained from past and current CEOS Agency initiatives involving commercial ICT providers. It will examine the way in which these are integrated into the service offerings of CEOS Agencies and, in particular, the way in which they promote user uptake and facilitate the development of value-added services.
This workshop will allow sharing of best practices and lessons learned among CEOS Agencies.
