Abstract

Data has become the raw material of production, a new source of considerable economic and social value. Advances in data mining and analytics, the massive increase in computing power and data storage capacity coupled with decreasing cost (falling by a factor of 6 since 2005 according to Podesta et al. 2014) and the increasing number of people, devices, and sensors that are now connected by digital networks and able to communicate with each other (“Internet of Things”) have revolutionized the ability to generate, communicate, share, and access data. According to the World Economic Forum (2011), 15 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2015 and 50 billion by 2020. The amount of data stored on the Internet is predicted to grow exponentially and looks set to be 44 times larger in 2020 than it was in 2009 (World Economic Forum (2011), figure 3, pp. 14).
