Definitions, Socio-Economic Aspects, Society Impact, and Characterization of Data Sources

The article mainly focuses on the mainstream opinions around Big Data, but neglects many notions, definitions, and ideas about Big Data that exist outside the typical mainstream opinion. The article would require some better definitions, ideas around the concept of Big Data, and a more clearer categorization of the actual data sources. Many time Big Data is simply nothing else than a database plus a bit of analytics. The article would require some polishing and additions which are not in the mainstream opinion - or which are new ideas for describing the concept of Big Data.

My general thought process toward editing this article is focused on the improvement of the depth of certain sections, like the applications and ethical issues that come with Big Data. I also plan to add a number of images and possibly diagrams to the article to enhance the reader's perception of Big Data. AidenMack (talk) 18:26, 6 April 2026 (UTC) Aiden mackReply
