Big Data
• Big Data refers to complex and large data sets that have to be processed and analyzed to uncover valuable information that
can benefit businesses and organizations. It has features like:
• 1. It refers to a massive amount of data that keeps on growing exponentially with time.
• 2. It is so voluminous that it cannot be processed or analyzed using conventional data processing techniques.
• 3. It includes data mining, data storage, data analysis, data sharing, and data visualization.
• 4. The term is an all-comprehensive one including data, data frameworks, along the tools and techniques used to process
and analyze the data.
BIG DATA STATISTICS
• THE WORLD GENERATES OVER 2.5
QUINTILLION BYTES OF DATA EVERY
DAY.
• BY 2025, 175 ZETTABYTES OF DATA
ARE EXPECTED WORLDWIDE.
• EVERY MINUTE : 500,000 TWEETS ON
TWITTER AND 500 HOURS OF
VIDEOS UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE.
• 90% OF THE WORLD’S DATA WAS
CREATED IN THE LAST 2 YEARS
ALONE.
Structured
• STRUCTURED BIG DATA IS DATA THAT IS
ORGANIZED IN A FIXED FORMAT, LIKE
ROWS AND COLUMNS IN A TABLE. IT CAN
BE EASILY STORED, ACCESSED, AND
ANALYZED USING TRADITIONAL
DATABASES.
• EXAMPLES
• BANK TRANSACTIONS (AMOUNT, DATE,
ACCOUNT NUMBER)
• EMPLOYEE RECORDS (NAME, ID,
SALARY)
• ONLINE SHOPPING DATA (PRODUCT ID,
PRICE, QUANTITY)
UNSTRUCTURED DATA
Unstructured data refers to information
that does not have a predefined format
or schema. Unlike structured data
(organized neatly in rows and columns),
unstructured data is often messy, varied,
and harder to store or analyze using
traditional databases. It can be textual,
visual, or audio, and usually requires
advanced tools like AI, machine
learning, or natural language
processing (NLP) to extract meaning.
Example
• Text documents: Emails, reports,
articles, meeting transcripts.
• Multimedia files: Images, audio
recordings, video footage.
• Social media content: Tweets,
Facebook posts, YouTube comments.
Characteristics
of Big Data
• To understand Big Data
better ,Big Data can be
describe using five important
characteristics called the 5
V's.
• These are
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
• [Link]
Volume
• Volume refers to the huge
amount of data generated every
second. Size of data plays a very
crucial role in determining value
out of data
• Example: Facebook generates
over 4 petabytes of data per day
from posts, images, and videos.
Velocity
Velocity refer to the speed at which data
is created, collected, and processed.
Example
Stock market trading systems process
millions of transactions per second in real
time.
Variety
• The different types of data
formats (structured, semi-
structured, unstructured).
• Example
• An e-commerce site collects
structured data (sales records),
semi-structured data (JSON logs),
and unstructured data (customer
reviews, product images).
Veracity
• Refers to the accuracy, reliability,
and trustworthiness of data.
• Example
• Social media posts may contain
fake news or misleading
information, so companies must
filter and validate before analysis.
Value
• The usefulness of data in
driving decisions and
insights.
• Example
• Netflix analyze viewing
patterns to recommend
shows, turning raw data
into business value by
improving customer
satisfaction.

– BIG DATA WILL HELP AI BECOME
SMARTER AND MORE USEFUL.
• SMART CITIES DEVELOPMENT – DATA
WILL IMPROVE TRAFFIC, SECURITY, AND
PUBLIC SERVICES.
