This entry will discuss the nature of the changing market – with regards to BIG DATA and Unstructured Data. Of course, the rise of use or storage of semi and unstructured data is part of the lead in to big data.  I will dive in to an executive overview of where I think the market is going this year, what I think you should know as an executive, and why you should focus your talent and efforts in these areas.  The Data Vault model and methodology is clearly a solution, but only a part of the solution – as there is more, much more to it than just a data model! continue
