DATA VIRTUALIZATION FOR DECISION MAKING IN BIG DATAijseajournal
Data analytics and Business Intelligence (BI) are essential components of decision support technologies that gather and analyze data for faster and better strategic and operational decision making in an organization. Data analytics emphasizes on algorithms to control the relationship between data offering insights. The major difference between BI and analytics is that analytics has predictive competence which helps in making future predictions whereas Business Intelligence helps in informed decision-making built on the analysis of past data. Business Intelligence solutions are among the most valued data management tools whose main objective is to enable interactive access to real-time data, manipulation of data and provide business organizations with appropriate analysis. Business Intelligence solutions leverage software and services to collect and transform raw data into useful information that enable more informed and quality business decisions regarding customers, market competitors, internal operations and so on. Data needs to be integrated from disparate sources in order to derive valuable insights. Extract-Transform-Load (ETL), which are traditionally employed by organizations help in extracting data from different sources, transforming and aggregating and finally loading large volume of data into warehouses. Recently Data virtualization has been used to speed up the data integration process. Data virtualization and ETL often serve unique and complementary purposes in performing complex, multi-pass data transformation and cleansing operations, and bulk loading the data into a target data store. In this paper we provide an overview of Data virtualization technique used for Data analytics and BI.
We’re in the difficult middle years of the information age, where a nexus of factors like cheap storage, rich HD media, ubiquitous connectivity and more sophisticated SaaS products are generating more data than we can affordably store or meaningfully process.

Yet even the information that may be gleaned from data is incomplete because data is created to drive applications, not to inform users. Metadata is the data that holds application
data definitions as well as their operational and business context, and so plays a critical role in data and application design and development, as well as in providing an intelligent operational environment that's driven by business meaning.

5 Key Data Management Trends of 2022 as observed by a data practitioner. Covers trends on data architecture, data storage, data platforms, and data operations.
LEVERAGING CLOUD BASED BIG DATA ANALYTICS IN KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR ENHANCE...ijdpsjournal
In recent past, big data opportunities have gained much momentum to enhance knowledge management in
organizations. However, big data due to its various properties like high volume, variety, and velocity can
no longer be effectively stored and analyzed with traditional data management techniques to generate
values for knowledge development. Hence, new technologies and architectures are required to store and
analyze this big data through advanced data analytics and in turn generate vital real-time knowledge for
effective decision making by organizations. More specifically, it is necessary to have a single infrastructure
which provides common functionality of knowledge management, and flexible enough to handle different
types of big data and big data analysis tasks. Cloud computing infrastructures capable of storing and
processing large volume of data can be used for efficient big data processing because it minimizes the
initial cost for the large-scale computing infrastructure demanded by big data analytics. This paper aims to
explore the impact of big data analytics on knowledge management and proposes a cloud-based conceptual
framework that can analyze big data in real time to facilitate enhanced decision making intended for
competitive advantage. Thus, this framework will pave the way for organizations to explore the relationship
between big data analytics and knowledge management which are mostly deemed as two distinct entities.

As we enter the digital economy, it becomes increasingly transparent that the information and data ecosphere will continue to be a complex environment for the foreseeable future, with information being provided from a variety of internal and external sources in the form of files, messages, queries and streams. It would be foolish for any organization to place their bets on any one platform to be their platform of choice because it is incongruent to the thought patterns of the consumers, suppliers, regulators, partners and financiers who will participate in their information ecosphere through data feeds, information requests and a host of other interfaces.
Rather, there is a role of each of these platforms which serve as the conduit for data and the transformation of data into information aligned with the value propositions of the organization. This writing is focused on the big data platform because there are some unique characteristics of the big data environment that require an approach different than many of the legacy environments that exist in organizations. Furthermore, while big data is the one environment that is new and requires these special handling characteristics, there will be future platforms with the same requirements as big data requires today, and hopefully lessons learned will be left to not revisit each of the challenges as the next transformational information ecosphere is made available.
Figure 1 The Fourth Industrial Revolution, World Economic Forum, InfoSight Partners, 2016
This time is different, in that information is the catalyst to achieving value and the platform ideally suited to house information not optimal for storage in the form of rows and columns is the big data environment. Understanding which information is delivered with intended consequences and having the management prowess to tune information shared with customers, prospects, suppliers, partners, regulators and financiers is critical for the digital economy. Additionally, it is specific to understand the challenges each platform housing information bring to the equation. This writing will focus on big data.

Big data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that tr.docxhartrobert670
Big data is a broad term for data sets so large or complex that traditional data processing applications are inadequate. Challenges include analysis, capture, curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer, visualization, and information privacy. The term often refers simply to the use of predictive analytics or other certain advanced methods to extract value from data, and seldom to a particular size of data set.
Analysis of data sets can find new correlations, to "spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on."[1] Scientists, practitioners of media and advertising and governments alike regularly meet difficulties with large data sets in areas including Internet search, finance and business informatics. Scientists encounter limitations in e-Science work, including meteorology, genomics,[2]connectomics, complex physics simulations,[3] and biological and environmental research.[4]
Data sets grow in size in part because they are increasingly being gathered by cheap and numerous information-sensing mobile devices, aerial (remote sensing), software logs, cameras, microphones, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers, and wireless sensor networks.[5]
HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data" \l "cite_note-6" [6]
HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_data" \l "cite_note-7" [7] The world's technological per-capita capacity to store information has roughly doubled every 40 months since the 1980s;[8] as of 2012, every day 2.5 exabytes (2.5×1018) of data were created;[9] The challenge for large enterprises is determining who should own big data initiatives that straddle the entire organization.[10]
Work with big data is necessarily uncommon; most analysis is of "PC size" data, on a desktop PC or notebook[11] that can handle the available data set.
Relational database management systems and desktop statistics and visualization packages often have difficulty handling big data. The work instead requires "massively parallel software running on tens, hundreds, or even thousands of servers".[12] What is considered "big data" varies depending on the capabilities of the users and their tools, and expanding capabilities make Big Data a moving target. Thus, what is considered to be "Big" in one year will become ordinary in later years. "For some organizations, facing hundreds of gigabytes of data for the first time may trigger a need to reconsider data management options. For others, it may take tens or hundreds of terabytes before data size becomes a significant consideration."[13]

Traditionally, data integration has meant compromise. No matter how rapidly data architects and developers could complete a project before its deadline, speed would always come at the expense of quality. On the other hand, if they focused on delivering a quality project, it would generally drag on for months thus exceeding its deadline. Finally, if the teams concentrated on both quality and rapid delivery, the costs would invariably exceed the budget. Regardless of which path you chose, the end result would be less than desirable. This led some experts to revisit the scope of data integration. This write up shall focus on the same issue.

Management of Information Systems
Databases and Data Warehouses
The impact of database technology on how business is conducted today cannot be overemphasized. This technology has enabled an information industry with comprehensive influences on businesses and individuals. Databases store data that populate web pages and other interactive networked technologies. Search engines, e-commerce, and social media would not exist without databases. With database support, larger tasks can be accomplished by fewer people.
Effective data management is the principal benefit of IT. Database management systems (DBMSs) enable the fast creation of databases and manipulation of data on an aggregate basis or down to the smallest detail for business purposes. Databases support most web pages and other interactive networked technology. DBMSs support target marketing, financial management, decision-making, distribution of goods and services, customer service, and other activities. It is imperative, in the age of data mining, and “big data,” for knowledge workers to understand how databases work and how data are used operationally and strategically in business management.
Database analysis and management skills are mandatory in the marketplace. IT professionals develop and implement databases. However, data is essential to the non-technical professional who uses the data for decision making regarding accounting, marketing, logistics, senior management, and other functional areas.
The relational database model is common. However, data can be organized in other ways. “Big Data” prompted the use of other database models. “NoSQL” database models are non-relational and do not require SQL to retrieve data. NoSQL databases can be structured by object, document, key-value, graph, column, and other possibilities
In relational databases, a primary key is a field in a table that contains a unique value used to differentiate between rows of data. The primary key is usually a number, or a computer generated globally unique identifier (GUID). Sometimes a composite key is used differentiate between table rows. A composite key is a combination of the values in two or more fields in a table that when combined are unique in the table and serve as a primary key. A foreign key is used to link data between two tables. A foreign key in a table is the primary key of a related table.
Databases contain different types of fields. Some types are, number, text, image, video, audio, geographical coordinates, and others. If a number is not used for mathematical calculations, it is best to assign a text type to it in a database to avoid the need to convert it from a number to a string after retrieval.
SQL is a popular query language used to retrieve data from relational databases. SQL can be used to retrieve data from more than one table by use of a “join.” A join query retrieves data from rows in two or more tables, where the value of the foreign ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

ABSTRACT
With cloud computing, cheap storage and technology advancements, an enterprise uses multiple
applications to operate business functions. Applications are not limited to just transactions, customer
service, sales, finance but they also include security, application logs, marketing, engineering, operations,
HR and many more. Each business vertical uses multiple applications which generate a huge amount of
data. On top of that, social media, IoT sensors, SaaS solutions, and mobile applications record exponential
growth in data volume. In almost all enterprises, data silos exist through these applications. These
applications can produce structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data at different velocity and in
different volume. Having all data sources integrated and generating timely insights helps in overall
decision making. With recent development in Big Data Integration, data silos can be managed better and it
can generate tremendous value for enterprises. Big data integration offers flexibility, speed and scalability
for integrating large data sources. It also offers tools to generate analytical insights which can help
stakeholders to make effective decisions. This paper presents the overview on data silos, challenges with
data silos and how big data integration can help to stun them.

1. INTRODUCTION
A data silo is a segregated group of data stored in multiple enterprise applications. Most
applications store raw and processed data in various ways. Each application has its own features
and tools to allow business users an easy access to processed data using dashboards and reports.
Most of these dashboard and reports are application specific. As a result, teams in various
business units will have limited visibility of the data in the enterprise and they will only see a
partial picture. They will not be able to extract the full value of data from various enterprise
applications which sources data silos. Data silos restrict sharing information and collaboration
among teams. It leads to poor decision making and negatively impacts profitability [16][17].
With evolving APIs in enterprise applications and the emergence of new technologies,
frameworks, and platforms, there are various opportunities to integrate these silos. Integrating
thousands of disparate data sources is now easier than ever before due to Big Data Integrations
and tools. This paper will focus on how big data integration can help integrating disparate data
sources.
2. RELATED WORK
Data integration has been around since last few decades and it has been evolving. Data silos are
often managed differently by enterprises based on their priorities and challenges. Data Integration
is the key to bridge data silos and generate true value of data [15].

As applications can be heterogeneous, it is challenging to integrate them. To integrate
heterogeneous sources, data integration mitigates risks and offers flexibility. In paper [21],
multiple approaches were discussed to integrate heterogeneous data warehouses by an example of
a practical system.
The paper [14] compares traditional data warehouse toolkits with big data integration. It provides
details on methodology, architecture, ETL challenges, processing and storage for data warehouse
and big data lake. It summarizes characteristics of data warehouse and Big data followed by a
proposed model to process big data.
A seminar on big data integration [2] discussed techniques such as record linkage,
schema mapping and data fusion. It also summarized how big data integration relieves
challenges with Big data.
Big data integration is reviewed in paper [11] by presenting issues with traditional data
integrations and relevant work on big data integration. Challenges of Big data is also discussed
with techniques to resolve them in a big data environment.
A book on Big Data Analytics [1] discusses strategies and roadmap to integrate big data analytics
in enterprises. It presents how big data tools and techniques can help to develop big data
applications to manage data silos.
3. DATA SILOS AND CHALLENGES
3.1. Data Silos
In the age of artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and predictive analytics,
generating insights from the right data at the right time is critical. These days, there is a strong
wave to adopt artificial intelligence and machine learning to be data-driven and to gain a
competitive advantage.
The biggest hurdle to attain success in this endeavor is data integration and preparation [18]. Due
to the increasing number of business applications in the corporate world, data sit in hundreds or
thousands of applications or servers that result in data silos. It becomes worse at the times of
mergers and acquisitions. On the other side, it is not practical to give everyone in the company to
give access to all applications. Even if that is true, it will take so much time to integrate required
datasets without a proper strategy. It takes days, months or even years to manually acquire and
integrate data from data silos. Data silos are formed due to various reasons not limited to
structural, vendor contracts, and political [16].
3.2. Challenges with Data Silos
According to a survey by the American Management Association [8], 83% of executives told that
their organizations have silos and 97% think silos have a negative effect. The simplest reason is
they impact overall decision making and impacts each business vertical.
It is obvious that data silos restrict visibility across different verticals. Data enrichment is not
possible with data silos and that’s why it impacts negatively on informed decision making.
Additionally, data silos can represent the same problem or situation differently. For example, an
active subscriber in a SaaS (software as a service) company may mean different to finance team
than the marketing team. For finance team, if a subscriber is paying a subscription or using a
promotion, he/she will be considered active. For marketing, active status depends on various

3
activities on the platform like login, activity, etc. That leads to inefficiency and additional work to
determine which source is accurate.
3.3. Bridging Data Silos
As data silos are formed from multiple applications and processes, data reside at various places-
cloud, on-premise, applications servers, flat-files, databases, etc. A key thing here is to find value
in data and define which data silos should create maximum value if they are integrated. One way
you can overtake data silos is to strategize sources of data silos to enhance collaborations and
communications among multiple departments and teams. From separating different processes or
applications to unifying them will break down data silos. However, it requires major efforts and a
change in the overall culture of the organization [16][17].
Another way to solve this problem is to integrate these data silos using integrations techniques
and tools. Integrating these data silos is a costly and time-consuming process. There have been
multiple frameworks and tools for data integrations but we will focus on big data integration due
to its long term benefits.
Let’s understand the need for integrating data silos in the corporate world with a simple analogy.
In a household kitchen, you will find sugar in a container, coffee in another container and creamer
in a different container. We consolidate all three in different proportions to make a delicious
coffee. Similarly, multiple applications in enterprises form data silos for specific operations.
When executives and investors look at a company as a whole, a clear and better view of the
overall picture will go a long way. Integrating data silos in an effective way can resolve this
critical challenge.
4. BIG DATA INTEGRATION
Enterprise applications generate a variable volume of data real-time, near-real-time or not-real-
time. Data can be structured, semi-structured or unstructured [5][14]. Almost 80% of data from
enterprise applications is either unstructured or semi-structured [9]. Volume can be low or high
but there is no clear bar to classify volume as low or high [11]. Applications can generate static or
dynamic data structures and they are heterogeneous in most cases [14]. Most of these demonstrate
the characteristics of Big Data, often known as the seven V´s: Volume, Variety, Velocity,
Veracity, Value, Variability, and Viability [4][14].
Traditional data integration techniques work well for structured data [21]. Traditional data
integration can handle some of the characteristics of Big Data but it fell short on handling semi-
structured and unstructured data at scale [2][3]. With advancements in big data technologies and
infrastructure, it becomes much easier to integrate a variety of data sources at scale [11].
Distributed processing and distributed messaging systems made integrations possible at high
scale. Map Reduce and Hadoop used to be a good option to integrate data silos [14]. Spark and
Hadoop can be better to integrate a variety of data sources after recent development in Spark [6].
Kafka and other distribution messaging technology made real-time data integration possible
[12][13]. Depending on the needs, data can be processed in batch, or real-time using big data
tools.
To integrate data silos, you can either extract raw data from each application or pull processed
data from sources based on the requirements and nature of applications. Following general steps
are identified to integrate data silos based on several use cases:

1) Data Discovery: Identify data silos to be integrated. It is a data discovery and justification
phase. Evaluate and determine what integrating data silos will benefit the entire corporation.
Set the clear expectation, benchmark, and constraints for each data silo. This phase will give
you some idea of priorities on which data silos should be handled first.
2) Data Extraction: Determine what to extract from sources. Data can be from relational
databases, cloud, IoT sensors, flat files, application logs, images, large documents, and so on
[1][19]. Data extraction should not put more burden on data sources and should not impact
other production processes. “Schema on read” can be beneficial for semi-structured and
unstructured data and big data integration can handle it easily [10].
3) Data Export: Export data to temporary storage or messaging system. Kafka is a really
powerful message broker for high-throughput real-time event data and can be really effective
in integrating data silos [12][20]. Other alternatives should be evaluated based on needs.
4) Data Loading: Load data to the cloud, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or any big
data platform real-time or in batches [6]. Data can be loaded as-is in raw format. Based on
requirements, data can be transformed and stored as well.
5) Data Processing and Analytics: Consolidate data sources based on business needs. This is a
step to process unstructured or semi-structured data to structured data so that it can be used in
analytics. It includes aggregating data, generating key performance metrics and analytical
data models [7].
5. BIG DATA LAKE
Data Lake is an excellent choice for data consolidation and for integrating data silos. It is an
integral part of Big Data Integration. It offers several benefits over the traditional data warehouse.
Data lake supports the strategy to develop the universal culture of scalable data-driven insights.
They are highly flexible, agile and reusable. As they are designed for low-cost storage, they are
commonly used to store historical data from various sources [15].
When you have all data you need at one place, you can use it for all purposes. Instead of storing
only raw data, data lake should also store processed data, metrics and aggregations to take full
advantage. In order to avoid extra processing and time, common aggregations and metrics should
be kept ready in the data lake. That way it can be an enterprise data platform serving as a single
source of truth.
As the journey to the big data lake is not short, be stick to goals identified during data discovery.
This journey will definitely open doors for the new opportunities and will help enterprises to
subjugate data silos.
6. CONCLUSIONS
Today data are being generated in hundreds or thousands from enterprise applications at an
unprecedented scale. As these applications are used by different business verticals and teams, data
sharing is not easy even within the specific business vertical. As a result, multiple data silos are
formed in enterprises. Data can generate enormous value if integrated, analyzed and presented
correctly. This paper presented some challenges with data silos and how big data integration can
help to tackle them. It discussed the use of Big Data Lake to integrate data silos and how it can
serve multiple needs through a single platform. As big data integration is evolving day by day,
new frameworks, platforms, and techniques are expected to make integrations easier in the future.
