Can you give an example of data that you think it could be considered as “Big Data”? What are the characteristics of the data that fit into 5Vs, or 7Vs, or 10Vs of Big data characteristics?
I had worked in Health System Strengthening project of Chin State in Myanamar. Considering the data I collected that time as “Big Data”, the characeristics of 5Vs are
1. Volume: State-wide health service providers, and facilities data including millions of individual and health organization records, laboratory results, vaccination data, population data.
2. Velocity: The speed is crucial to respond immediate public health threats (such as new cases of notifiable diseases, contact tracing)
3. Variety: Diverse data sources containing hospitals, HR, Equipments, commodities, and multiple registers and reports.
4. Veracity: Ensuring data quality, accuracy, and reliability is still challenging.
5. Value: When analyzed, support policymakers in strengtheing health service providing system.
