Characteristic

Description

Volume

It refers to the size of data collected from different types of sources. Here, data is no longer represented by a few terabytes, but many petabytes. The bigger it is, the bigger is the insight we can mine

Velocity

It refers to the speed at which data is generated, stored and processed

Variety

Is one of the most challenges of Big Data. It concerns data produced from various sources, both internal and external. Data can be in different format; structured, semi-structured or unstructured

Veracity

It concerns anomalies and uncertainties in data, due to inconsistencies and incompleteness. The process of precluding bad data is therefore important to extract reliable insights

Variability

It is different from variety; it refers to data whose meaning is constantly changing

Visualization

Is the process of illustrating relationships within large amounts of complex data in a readable manner

Value

It refers to the information and insights that data provides
