A Critical Analysis of the V-Model of Big Data

摘要

In order to provide a solid and stable platform for Big Data (BD) management and application development, a generic model of BD needs to be agreed upon. There is no firm consensus on what defines BD, although a broad spectrum of competing, sometimes conflicting, ideas in terms of "V"s have been put forth. In this paper, we provide an exhaustive survey of the V-model of Big Data (BD) characteristics proposed by several academic and industry researchers, and motivate a formal approach to a selection of independent Vs that can model BD sufficiently well in any application sector.
