AbstractThe popularity of big data analytics (BDA) has boosted the interest of organisations into exploiting their large scale data. This technology can become a strategic stimulation for organisations to achieve competitive advantage and sustainable growth. Previous BDA research, however, has focused more on introducing more traits, known as Vs for big data traits, while ignoring the quality of data when examining the application of BDA. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effect of big data traits and data quality dimensions on BDA application. This study has formulated 10 hypotheses that comprised of the relationships of big data traits, accuracy, believability, completeness, timeliness, ease of operation, and BDA application constructs. This study conducted a survey using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. Then, the partial least squares structural equation modelling technique was used to analyse the hypothesised relationships between the constructs. The findings revealed that big data traits can significantly affect all constructs for data quality dimensions and that the ease of operation construct has a significant effect on BDA application. This study contributes to the literature by bringing new insights to the field of BDA and may serve as a guideline for future researchers and practitioners when studying BDA application.

This article aims to understand the views of genomic scientists with regard to the data quality assurances associated with semiotics and data–information–knowledge (DIK). The resulting communication of signs generated from genomic curation work, was found within different semantic levels of DIK that correlate specific data quality dimensions with their respective skills. Syntactic data quality dimensions were ranked the highest among all other semiotic data quality dimensions, which indicated that scientists spend great efforts for handling data wrangling activities in genome curation work. Semantic- and pragmatic-related sign communications were about meaningful interpretation, thus required additional adaptive and interpretative skills to deal with data quality issues. This expanded concept of ‘curation’ as sign/semiotic was not previously explored from the practical to the theoretical perspectives. The findings inform policy makers and practitioners to develop framework and cyberinfrastructure that facilitate the initiatives and advocacies of ‘Big Data to Knowledge’ by funding agencies. The findings from this study can also help plan data quality assurance policies and thus maximise the efficiency of genomic data management. Our results give strong support to the relevance of data quality skills communication for relationship with data quality assurance in genome curation activities.

Big Data is clearly one of the most used buzzwords nowadays, but it really seems that the phenomenon of Big Data will have a huge effect on many different fields, and may be regarded as the new wave of the information revolution started in the 60s of the last century. The potential of exploiting Big Data promises significant benefits (and also new challenges) both in the private and the public sector – this essay will focus on this latter. After a short introduction about Big Data, this paper will first sum up the potential use of Big Data analytics in the public sector. Then I will focus on a specific issue within this scope, namely, how the use of Big Data and algorithm-based decision-making may affect transparency and access to these data. I will focus on the question why the transparency of the algorithms is raised at all, and what the current legal framework for the potential accessibility to them is.
