When it comes to Big Data one thing that’s been missing is standards. \u00a0There is a myriad of products but interoperability isn’t\u00a0a high priority design feature.<\/p>\n

Frank Walton<\/a>, Faculty Member at City College of New York, says that<\/a> “there\u2019s chaos in the industry right now because there are no commonly accepted industry standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dale Wickizer<\/a>, former NetApp\u00a0chief technology officer for the U.S. Public Sector, said that<\/a> “standards are the things that help people through the terrifying aspects of new and emerging markets. \u00a0The expectation in the enterprise is that things will interoperate, so that will drive the need for standards in big data.”<\/p>\n

Matthew Martin<\/a>, a solutions architect at Merlin International, said that<\/a>\u00a0\u201cgovernment definitely prefers [to have standards], but it can\u2019t wait forever because it\u2019s faced with serious data problems now. \u00a0Agencies may have to move forward anyway [with big data] because they have a mission to meet.”<\/p>\n

Finally, late last year a standard for Big Data was officially released, and surprisingly, the sponsor of the standard was the United Nations<\/a>. \u00a0But this may not be the standard that people have been looking for.<\/p>\n

Alan Duncan<\/a>, a research director with Gartner, said that<\/a> “we’re somewhat skeptical around the area of international standards in the data space. \u00a0We have not really seen any of them have a huge amount of traction. \u00a0The rationale for having standards is to make things interoperable, but in big data, that’s already happened at a practical level, driven by the need for vendor solutions to be able to work together.”<\/p>\n
