Abstract

The term Big Data is in the centre of many recent discussions in academia and practice. To date, the discussion is, to a large extent, driven by technological concepts and capabilities; however, a holistic understanding of the term is still missing. This panel intends to investigate the consequences and enabling prerequisites of Big Data. Next to economic and social impacts, the panel addresses questions that will raise issues that impact the academic discourse of Big Data itself.
