Introducing the Big Data and Standards Forum

[Carol Geyer <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

What role can standards play in big data? How will big data impact
current privacy and access control standards? What needs to happen?
When and where do we start?

These are some of the questions we hope to address in the Big Data and
Standards Forum, a new, open LinkedIn Group hosted by OASIS. The
Forum's goal is to advance an online, public dialogue about the
challenges big data poses and how standards fit. We want to
collectively explore possibilities, provoke new thinking, probe
differences of opinion, cut through the hype, and inspire informed
actions.

All perspectives are welcome and needed in this
conversation--government, industrial research, vendors, academia,
corporate customers, and consumers. We hope you will become part of
the Group and share your thoughts or simply monitor the discussions
and weigh in when you're ready. The Forum is open and free for
everyone.

With your participation, it's sure to be an interesting dialogue.
