Why Digging Through Big Data is Like Cleaning Your Closet!!

Whenever looking in my closet or cleaning it, I always find something new I had forgot about or didn’t even know I had. Diving into data is similarly the same thing. You get to find information and insight out of it that gives you beneficial findings. Cleaning up your closet and going through data are both overwhelming processes. To have the chance to find valuable information in your data, you need to pass a lot of action in order to find remarkable findings, and that applies on both cases, data and closet mining.

            First, you need to translate the business needs into the key performance indicators (KPI’S), and after that, determine the data sources. Then, you connect and build connecters. This will help in getting data in the right place to get to use it. After that, you need to mark which data gets to stay to be stored, and which one gets abandon. In this same step, you will have to choose a method to start the storage of data and visualization. To make it simpler, just think of your closet, you need to assort all pants together, winter clothes with winter appurtenances, and so on. After sorting the data into its final shape, you will use filters and clusters to segment your data to visualize it. This is just like being creative with your clothes from your closet and making different outfits your closet offers you.
