The term ‘big data’ is frequently used. There is no agreed definition, but in public discourse it tends to refer to the increasing ubiquity of data, the vastness of datasets, the growth of digital data and other new or alternative data sources. More technically, people have talked about the increasing variety, velocity and variability of data which indicates we are in a ‘big data age’.

This is framed and influenced in varying ways by those with a stake in the discussion and the inquiries and decisions that they seek to make.
