Our story: “Data Mining and Other Issues on Slate at 2012 Joint Statistical Meetings” showed that analytics is rightly on statistic experts’ radar.
“Mike Miller Joins Digital Reasoning as VP of Sales” provided a glimpse into the wisest hiring minds in the business.
“Florida Community Benefits Medically and Financially from Analytics” gives a glimpse at the immediate impact analytics is making on the community level.
News crops up in all areas of analytics, so it’s helpful to have stories wrangled up that might slip through the cracks. We’re here everyday, monitoring just such stories so you don’t have to.

Data Vibrancy: Pursuing a Full Spectrum
July 11, 2012
Vibrant Data has painted a pretty picture, but more detail is needed before it can be called a masterpiece. Ted’s blog, “Fellows Friday: The Vibrancy of Data” talks about the broad span of challenging areas, while repeatedly emphasizing the need for more collaborative research and problem mapping.
In the opinion of Vibrant Data, a few areas need a little brush work to create an efficient data ecosystem, and:
“From the structure of that network, we identified four Grand Challenge areas for democratizing data: Digital Infrastructure, Digital Trust (protection of personal identity, and reputation systems for accountability), Digital Literacy (widespread access to intuitively asking questions with data and thinking critically about the answers) and Platform Openness (the ability to copy, edit and customize platforms that facilitate finding meaning from data).”
The color image of their grand challenges is quite impressive at first glance, however Vibrant Data openly admits this is a work in progress. The plan to involve more people in the problem mapping will definitely allow for more input, but to what end? Collaboration can be beneficial but at the same time, too many artists can clutter up the original vision.
The overall picture that Vibrant Data is trying to create would allow everyday people to directly benefit from the enormous pallet of evolving data. With access provided, everyday users could avoid possible negative consequences and paint their own portrait.
