LUCIANO FLORIDI (Big Data and Their Epistemological Challenge, Philosophy & Technology, 2012)
“Despite the importance of the phenomenon, it is unclear what exactly the term “big data” means and hence refers to. The aforementioned document specifies that: “The phrase ‘big data’ in this solicitation refers to large, diverse, complex, longitudinal, and/or distributed data sets generated from instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, email, video, click streams, and/or all other digital sources available today and in the future.” You do not need to be an analytic philosopher to find this both obscure and vague” (Floridi, 2012).BIG DATA AND EPISTEMOLOGY
