As quantities of data grow, so does our need to understand that data. From making government data more open and accessible, to assessing the impact of social media use on learning, nearly every human endeavour can benefit from making sense of “Big Data.” The challenge lies in transforming data into knowledge, which demands innovative tools and new approaches for capturing, visualizing, and analyzing some of the biggest datasets “out there.”
