Thanks for the pointer Doug. I’ve been aware of the three Vs of Big Data for quite a while, yet I didn’t know its origin.

Thanks for the link. Great to read your 2001 piece.

Comment on RDF, Big Data and The Semantic Web by Doug Laney

Great piece. And cool to see the industry finally adopting the “3V”s of big data over 11 years after Gartner first published them. For future reference, and a copy of the original article I wrote in 2001, see: http://blogs.gartner.com/doug-laney/deja-vvvue-others-claiming-gartners-volume-velocity-variety-construct-for-big-data/. –Doug Laney, VP Research, Gartner, @doug_laney

[...] Rob Styles has written an article regarding how semantic technologies can be effectively applied to the third V of Big Data: variety. (The other two Vs are volume and velocity.) Styles writes, “That third V of the Big Data puzzle is where I’ve been helping people use graphs of data (and that’s what RDF is, a graph model). Graphs are great where you have a variety of data that you want to link up. Especially if you want to extend the data often and if you want to extend the data programmatically — i.e. you don’t want to commit to a complete, constraining schema up-front. The other aspect of that variety in data that graphs help with is querying. As Jem Rayfield (BBC News & Sport) explains, using a graph makes the model simpler to develop and query.” [...]

Thanks Jörg, I have come across Bill Kent’s work previously, but don’t have a copy of Data and Reality. I just checked for a kindle edition on Amazon and sadly no luck

Owen Ambur’s summary of Data and Reality is worth reading for anyone who can’t get hold of the original.

Read “Data and Reality” by William Kent and you will know what metadata is.

It’s a shame it couldn’t convert 1000 ISBNs. I don’t have the maths to alter the spreadsheet….

I removed 2 bad capacitors from my 42-inch Phillips Plasma before noticing if the replacements needed to go back in a certain way (positive & negative leads)! Can anyone please tell me how to figure this out?

Thanks for the post, I just fixed my 42″ plasma same way. I actually did the repair after reading about it on another website, just replaced the caps that were bulging and leaking, and when I put it back together it didn’t even turn on so I thought I had really messed up bad. After reading some of the responses on here I figured I should double check everything maybe I had soldered in a capacitor backwards or something. When I got back in the TV I saw the capacitors were soldered correctly, however I forgot to plug in a connector. Plugged it in and it fired right up. Thanks for the help!
