Contents • Trends • Information Silos • Questions That Motivated Us • System Design and Architecture • Data Modeling and Models • Example Queries • Future Work • Questions
Questions We Asked • How to manage and extract value from these disparate, isolated data, and • How to take advantage of information from external, non-enterprise, and social media to provide new, exciting, and useful services that create value for BT customers
Linking Social, Open, and Enterprise Data • Social Data: LinkedIn • Open Data: OpenCorporates • Enterprise Data: BT’s internal SalesForce data and HR data
Challenges Encountered (1/2) • Establishing the Business Case: Set out goals and establish what data needs to be linked • Data Discovery and Provenance: Appropriate internal and external data need to be searched for and discovered (Quality problems, etc) • Information Extraction and Data Harvesting: Not all the data will be useful. Relevant data items need to be extracted
Challenges Encountered (2/2) • Data Cleaning: Most of these datasets, internal and external, will not be in the format that can be made use of. Need to be cleaned • Data Interlinking: The Choice of Join Points. What do you use to do the inter-linking? • Data Modeling • Data Management: Some data need to be brought in at run-time, or cached and made available when needed. Therefore, policies to manage the live and cached data sets need to be devised
Future Work • Future Work includes • System Trials • Adding more internal BT data • Ingesting more external data
