Wikibon Community: Big Data Manifesto

Creator: “Wikibon is a professional community solving technology and business problems through an open source sharing of free advisory knowledge.” (from their website)

Purpose: Business Analytics drives business decisions and the better the date the better the analytical insight. Small data is centrally controlled data. Big data proposes a new way to structure and organisation data in response to the flood of data now coming from a wide variety of sources such as the internet, mobile devices and other networked devices.

Manifesto (Introduction only)

Big Data is the new definitive source of competitive advantage across all industries. Enterprises and technology vendors that dismiss Big Data as a passing fad do so at their peril and, in our opinion, will soon find themselves struggling to keep up with more foreword-thinking rivals. For those organizations that understand and embrace the new reality of Big Data, the possibilities for new innovation, improved agility, and increased profitability are nearly endless.

The Open Cloud Computing Manifesto

Open Cloud Computing Manifesto

Creator: Developed by and open community of interested parties – vendors and providers.

Purpose: Public Declaration of principles and intentions for cloud computing providers and vendors based on the view the ‘cloud’ should be open.

Manifesto

Open Cloud Computing Principles

1. User centric systems enrich the lives of individuals, education, communication, collaboration, business, entertainment and society as a whole; the end user is the primary stakeholder in cloud computing.

2. Philanthropic initiatives don’t work!

3. Openness of standards, systems and software empowers and protects users; existing standards should be adopted where possible for the benefit of all stakeholders.

4. Transparency fosters trust and accountability; decisions should be open to public collaboration and scrutiny and never be made “behind closed doors”.

5. Interoperability ensures effectiveness of cloud computing as a public resource; systems must be interoperable over a minimal set of community defined standards and vendor lock-in must be avoided.

6. Representation of all stakeholders is essential; interoperability and standards efforts should not be dominated by vendor(s).

7. Discrimination against any party for any reason is unacceptable; barriers to entry must be minimised.

8. Evolution is an ongoing process in an immature market; standards may take some time to develop and coalesce but activities should be coordinated and collaborative.

9. Balance of commercial and consumer interests is paramount; if in doubt consumer interests prevail.

10. Security is fundamental, not optional.
