Exploring the form of big data products and the supporting systems

Abstract

Abstract There have been studies and practices about forms and supporting systems of single-type data products. However, little literature is dedicated to these factors of big data products, which are huge in volume and contain a variety of different types of data. For example, we do not know the form of data composed of a relation table and a digital video file at the same time. The lack of certain forms of big data products makes it impossible to design its base unit for measuring. It also causes difficulties in pricing and valuation of big data products, and further causes issues of circulation and supporting services. In this paper, we analyze the challenges of productizing big data. By referring to information media such as books, a product form and supporting systems of big data products based on Data Box are proposed. Different from previous studies, we focus on the system-level design and systematically study the pipeline including containerization, circulation, pricing, protection and etc. The proposed Data Box-based big data products and supporting systems can have a positive influence on the research, exploitation, exchange, and circulation of big data products.
