Get Your Red-Hot Data

摘要

As information professionals, we are all about data. There's lots of it out there, and it's growing by leaps and bounds. We have heard plenty about Big Data, but not so much about Open Data. What's the difference? What are the implications for the business world, consumers, and information specialists? How do we use all this data? This consumer-oriented book can help you get started. Joel Gurin is an excellent guide for our exploration of Open Data. He spent many years at Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports. In 2009, he joined the U.S. government as part of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
