    About this ebook

    Written by a leading expert in the field of information governance, this title is the only book available that focuses specifically on IBM solutions and the convergence of two major trends in information management today: big data and information governance. Nontechnical in nature and geared toward business audiences responsible for the analytics of big data, the book provides a big data governance framework with three dimensions: big data types, information governance disciplines, and industries and functions. Practitioners can use the knowledge presented in this book to understand big data support across the IBM InfoSphere portfolio, including DataStage, Streams, QualityStage, MDM, Guardium, Optim, and Data Explorer. They will also learn about the integration between IBM Business Process Manager Express and IBM InfoSphere in terms of integrating information governance, big data, and business process management.

      CHAPTER 1

      AN INTRODUCTION TO BIG DATA GOVERNANCE

      We are drowning in data today. This data comes from social media, telephone GPS signals, utility smart meters, RFID tags, digital pictures, and online videos, among other sources. IDC estimates that the amount of information in the digital universe exceeded 1.8 zettabytes (1.8 trillion gigabytes) in 2011 and is doubling every two years.¹ Much of this data can be characterized as big data. Big data is generally referred to in the context of the three Vs—volume, velocity, and variety. We add another V for value. Let’s consider each of these terms:

      Volume (data at rest)—Big data is generally large. Enterprises are awash with data, easily amassing terabytes and petabytes of information, and even zettabytes in the future.

      Velocity (data in motion)—Often time-sensitive, streaming data must be analyzed with millisecond response times to bolster real-time decisions.

      Variety (data in many formats)—Big data includes structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data such as email, audio, video, clickstreams, log files, and biometrics.

      Value (cost effectiveness)—Organizations are looking to gain insights from big data in a cost-effective manner. This is where open-source technologies such as Apache Hadoop have become extremely popular. Hadoop is software that processes large data sets across clusters of hundreds or thousands of computers in a cost-effective way.

      Organizations must govern all this big data, which brings us to the subject of this book. We define big data governance as follows:

      Big data governance is part of a broader information governance program that formulates policy relating to the optimization, privacy, and monetization of big data by aligning the objectives of multiple functions.

      Let’s decompose this definition into its main parts:

      Big data is part of a broader information governance program. Information governance organizations should incorporate big data into their existing information governance frameworks by doing the following:

      Extend the scope of the information governance charter to include big data governance.

      Broaden the membership of the information governance council to include power users of big data such as data scientists.

      Appoint stewards for specific categories of big data such as social media.

      Align big data with information governance disciplines such as metadata, privacy, data quality, and master data.

      Big data governance is about policy formulation.

      Policy includes the written or unwritten declarations of how people should behave in a given situation. For example, a big data governance policy might state that an organization will not integrate a customer’s Facebook profile into his or her master data record without that customer’s informed consent.

      Big data must be optimized.

      Consider how organizations might apply the principles of the physical world to their big data. Companies have well-defined enterprise asset management programs to care for their machinery, aircraft, vehicles, and other assets. Similar to cataloging physical assets, organizations need to optimize their big data as follows:

      Metadata—Build information about inventories of big data.

      Data quality management—Cleanse big data just as companies conduct preventive maintenance on physical assets.

      Information lifecycle management—Archive and retire big data when it no longer makes sense to retain these massive volumes.

      Privacy of big data is important.

      Organizations also need to establish the appropriate policies to prevent the misuse of big data. Organizations need to consider the reputational, regulatory, and legal risks involved when handling social media, geolocation, biometric, and other forms of personally identifiable
