To show how scientists are using data wrangling to make use of all this data, Rutgers University’s Online Master of Information program created this infograhpic:
The future of big data: data wrangling
Big data refers to extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal patterns, trends and associations. As scientists gain greater access to even more immense amounts of information, they need ever more efficient ways to round up and organise that data in order to gain useful insight from it.
