Subject: Pew Internet & American Life Report on Big Data
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

The Pew Foundation's Internet and American Life Project has just 
released a report on the future of big data; as with a number of 
other reports in their "Future of the Internet" series done in 
collaboration with the Elon University "Imagining the Internet" 
project, it's a compilation of comments on some specific questions by 
a wide variety of people that are collected together with some 
synthesis. These can be quite helpful in getting a sense of the range 
of (often quite informed) opinion on the issues.

The announcement and pointers to the report both online and in 
downloadable PDF are at:
