DATA RESERVES WHITE PAPER

EXPANSION OF DATA

13.10.2010 12

>>> CREATION OF HUGE DATA RESERVES

THE GROWTH OF “HUMAN” DATA

• What is the sustainable memory foot print / individual person?

13.10.2010 13

MACHINE GENERATED DATA - SUMMARY

• Human data creation: documents by typing, photos taken one by one etc.

• Computers, phones and other digital devices and sensors are capable of collecting, store and transfer data automatically – with high speed

>>>

• Today most of the data in data reserves is created by machines and this portion is growing fastest

• Human processing of this data is not anymore possible but we need more computers for the control and better algorithms and applications for sense making

• The growth of data is not anymore limited by human capability but is accelerating exponentially and is machine driven

• How we can control and use data which is never seen by a human being?

DATA CHAOS WITHOUT ORGANIZATION, ROLE OF ONTOLOGIES AND METADATA

• Currently nobody controls or manages the data storage from holistic point of view

• Data requires better organization - metadata

• Making sense out of the data requires ontology

• Data Governance refers to the operating discipline for managing data and information as a key enterprise asset.

• Most of the data is inactive and not used (Panasonic)

• What are the future tools and methods for

data management?

RANGE OF PROCESSING DEVICES

• What are the architectures and data distribution methods in the future network?

Cloud computing

VALUE ADDED APPLICATIONS BY DATAPROCESSING

• Where we in Finland can create for us free data environment to add value to data?

13.10.2010 18

SOME SPECIAL POINTS OF DATA

• Data ownership

– Today there are no good global rules for data ownership (actually ownership same way as ownership of physical objects is not possible as such, only temporary usage rights are protected legally) >>> the data reserve rush will happen in one or other way – early bird will get the worm

– Societies need to redefine ownership related rules, regulations and legislation.

• Data security and privacy are key issues in Cloud Computing environment

• Data is easily spoiled

– Data privacy cannot be recovered once compromised

– Unique data cannot be recovered once lost

– Integrity of data cannot be restored if written improperly

– Movement of data requires network resources and introduces latency if done on demand

– Processing and moving data requires always energy and is prone to errors; error prevention mechanisms increase bandwidth and processing needs

• What is the best legislation environment for fast data reserves business growth in Finland?

13.10.2010 19

HORIZONTAL APPROACH• The history of computing is the success story of general purpose technology

approach, where the rapid technology development is reducing the cost and allowing high volume.

…

• Because the ICT development is so fast, proprietary approach in certain vertical is typically the right way to start and enter the game but always there is the risk that it is waste of time and money to develop proprietary solutions. Typically somebody else has also innovated the same opportunity and horizontalization is just the question of time and volume. New architectures as well as new business initiatives should be planned to be flexible to this development. The leaders in horizontalization will have good potential to be long time winners.

• Can we learn how to play efficiently with proprietary and horizontal phases of the development?

13.10.2010 20

DATA RESERVES OF THE FUTURE

• The first phase of the “voyage of discovery” has started when players like Google (Internet and media data), Facebook (social data) and Youtube (video material) are collecting successfully their reserves for certain data categories. However only few data categories are under active, visible collection now and many more are waiting to be discovered and to be turned to spirals of success.

• Huge portion of the data is now in silos: enterprise data, financial data, health data etc. These structures should be broken without endangering privacy etc. issues but even more important is to analyze, what is the content of those silos, because this is telling us, what the immediate potential data categories for horizontalisationactivities are.

• Future data reserves are numerous: personal life log, life cycle data, updated traffic data, access data etc. etc. >>> Now it is important to start to collect and gain a position in certain categories of data reserves, which have important role in the future human society.

• In which data categories Finland has best potential to serve human society?

13.10.2010 21

FINLAND AND DATA RESERVES BUSINESS (1/2)

• Finland is: – a small, safe country in the very center of the current western civilization– neutral and technically advanced country and has good or even leading position in some

global rankings– Physically like an island but in the Internet world we can build as many bridges as needed to

serve Europe, Russia, USA or China and any other global market– strong bedrock, empty facilities, clear water and secured energy availability etc.

• Finland has been focusing on mobile communication and mobile computing and gained the current ICT position via that focus– The strong mobile competence should and can be turned to the strength in this game as well

and data reserves can support the development of future mobile computing. – However, mobile computing is not the only or even main data reserves driver at the time

being and we cannot rely on the strong growth of mobile momentum here– the essence of the development will be strongly server or cloud computing driven not

terminal driven

• The Finnish industry’s main focus is not in the consumer business but is more focused in B2B (business to business)– this should be used as stepping stone when entering the data reserves business as quickly as

possible– industry verticalS should seek for global data reserves business opportunities immediately – Same time we should remember the horizontal approach and cooperation between industry

verticals should be welcomed: Data is data in every industry

13.10.2010 22

FINLAND AND DATA RESERVES BUSINESS (2/2)

• Finland has:

– very strong and advanced banking system and

– other areas, where we have excellent current strengths, which can be turned from the current vertical focus towards horizontal data reserves business and services

– education system is one of the bests in the world

– the world’s most advanced ship tracking system on Baltic Sea, which offers huge ship tracking data reserves and operating opportunities on global level

>>> Let’s use our strengths fully and be innovative in opportunity identification

>>> Competition will be tough and the good set of niche markets should be appreciated.

• Finland - distributed architectures with advanced data roaming should be our competence spearhead.

– The mobile competence background is very good starting point e.g. roaming solutions are implemented in the cellular networks.

– Nordic cooperation between countries on similar development

• Existing innovation strategy and innovation competence should be applied actively in data reserves development and the new SHOK network should be used as a tool in this very wide competence and business development effort.

13.10.2010 23

FINLAND - SUMMARY

• No single player is capable to take responsibility in the national data reserves rush, but we need innovative efforts on every level.

• One great move towards the leadership here would be the nomination of Minister of Data Reserves instead of Minister of Communications in the new government.

• Build the national momentum!
