It has become an annual tradition here at DATAVERSITY® to publish our top twenty most popular data management content for the year. What have people been reading? What’s hot and trending into the New Year? Our top twenty includes Data Blogs, Articles, News, and other formats published throughout the year.
A Couple of Quick Highlights
Big Data in and of itself as a standalone topic is trending down. We’ve seen trends showing people are not as interested in determining what Big Data is as much as they are getting to the heart of how to store, govern, and analyze the data. This year we saw a big jump in interest in Business Intelligence / Analytics. At the end of 2013, it generated 10% of the pages jumping up to 21% in 2014. Certainly some of that has to do with our seeing the interest rising and generating more content to be read on the topic, but it is also takes the top three individual spots of content read throughout the year.
And enter in Cognitive Computing. We hosted our first ever Cognitive Computing Forum in 2014 to help educate people in this trending topic. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for decades, this and other subsets of Cognitive Computing are finally reaching practical application.
