Data Capturing

The process of collecting and entering data from various sources into a system for analysis, processing, or storage.

Data Sources

Data sources are systems from which data can be obtained. They provide raw material for analysis and other applications.

Data Processing

Involves cleaning, transforming, storing, and analyzing collected data.

Data Presentation

Presenting data in a clear, engaging, and understandable way to highlight key insights. It involves visualization, clarity, context, interactivity and storytelling.

Study Notes

Data Collection and Management

  • Data sources include web browsers, smartphones, search engines, the internet, banking, and games.
  • Data is collected by government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, consumer product companies, large retailers (big box stores), and credit card companies.
  • Big Data infrastructure involves collection, ingestion, preparation, computation, and presentation.
  • Data sources are both structured (databases, APIs, flat files, cloud storage, data warehouses, spreadsheets) and unstructured.

Data Capturing

  • Data capturing involves collecting and inputting data from various sources for analysis or storage.
  • Methods include manual data entry, automated collection using sensors, IoT devices, APIs, surveys, forms, point-of-sale systems, and mobile data capture.
  • Accurate, private, secure, and integrated data capture is critical for building reliable datasets.

Data Processing

  • Data processing steps include collection, cleaning, transformation, storage, and analysis.

Data Presentation

  • Data presentation displays data clearly and engagingly to highlight insights.
  • Key aspects are visualization, clarity, context, interactivity, and storytelling.

Data Warehousing

  • Data warehouses: Incoming data is cleaned and organized into a consistent schema for direct analysis.
  • Data lakes: Raw data is stored in its original format, enabling selection and organization as needed.

Data Infrastructure Models

  • On-premise: Users manage all components (networking, storage, servers, virtualization, operating system, middleware, runtime, data, and applications). Example: private data center.
  • SaaS (Software as a Service): Vendors handle everything; users access applications via the internet. Example: Gmail, Microsoft Office 365.

Big Data Architecture

  • Serverless: Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) manage resources instead of dedicated servers.

Data Treatment (Data Lake Approach 1)

  • Data sources: streaming, file, relational.
  • Data lake zones:
    • Transient: Ingest, tag, and catalog data.
    • Raw: Apply metadata, protect sensitive data.
    • Trusted: Data quality and validation.
    • Refined: Enrich data and automate workflows.
  • Consumer systems: data catalog, data preparation tools, visualization, external connectors.

Data Treatment (Data Lake Approach 2)

  • Data sources: OLTP/ODS, enterprise data warehouse, logs, cloud services, streaming, file data.
  • Steps:
    • Transient loading zone: Ingest data from sources without transformation.
    • Raw data zone: Store unaltered data and tokenize information.
    • Refined data zone: Integrate data into a consistent format.
    • Trusted data zone: High-quality validated data.
    • Discovery sandbox: Exploratory analysis and experimentation.
  • Consumers: business analysts, data scientists.
  • Foundation layers: metadata, data quality, catalog, security.

Data Technologies

  • Data collection from apps, IoT devices.
  • Ingestion (third-party tools, MQTT).
  • Preparation and computation in the data lake, sending results to the data warehouse.
  • Data presentation.
