A Forrester Research Report released in November, gave some Big Data Predictions for 2018. 25% of Enterprises will supplement point-and-click analytics with conversational interfaces. Querying data using natural language and delivering resulting visualizations in real time will become standard features of analytical applications.
A unique identifier (UID) is a numeric or alphanumeric string that is associated with a single entity within a given system. UIDs make it possible to address that entity, so that it can be accessed and interacted with.
Examples of Unique Identifiers:
URI-Uniform Resource Identifier is a unique identifier that makes content addressable on the Internet by uniquely targeting items, such as text, video, images and applications.
URL-Uniform Resource Locator is a particular type of URI that targets Web pages so that when a browser requests them, they can be found and served to users.
UUID-Universal Unique Identifier is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify some object or entity on the Internet.
GUID-Global Unique Identifier is a number that Microsoft programming generates to create a unique identity for an entity such as a Word document.
UDID-Unique Device Identifier is a 40-character string assigned to certain Apple devices including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
A Thing can be any natural or man-made object that is assigned an IP address and can transfer data over a network. A dog that has a microchip implanted or a car that has built-in sensors to alert the driver when a car is too close to stop safely are good examples of a “thing” in the Internet of Things.
IoT has evolved from the convergence of wireless technologies, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), microservices and the internet. The convergence has helped tear down the silo walls between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), allowing unstructured machine-generated data to be analyzed for insights that will drive improvements.
