8. Needs for Scalable Content
» wire-speed capturing
» batch-oriented post-
processing
» semantic lifting :
extracting knowledge
out of noise
» data and inferred data
become one

9. Needs for Scalable Content
» wire-speed capturing ➡ NoSQL & write-
optimized storage
» batch-oriented post-
processing ➡ map/reduce
» semantic lifting : ➡ NLP
extracting knowledge
out of noise
» data and inferred data ➡ smart content
