Seminar IST Inria: Big Data, new sheets of information

From 5 to 10 October in Saint-Paul-les-Dax (Landes)

Organizer: INRIA

Topic: Big Data is everywhere in the media. Described as a source of innovation, wealth creation, job creation, democratic issue when it is "open", Big Data fascinates and frightens. But what is it exactly? Do these massive datasets only belong to computer scientists, statisticians, politicians and entrepreneurs? Do professionals in the information-documentation have a role to play in this new landscape: identification, qualification, archiving, classification?
