A NEW ERA OF KNOWLEDGE

The revolution of disciplines after Big Data
From professional football and literary studies to crime prevention, today the fields of knowledge that have been profoundly changed by access to big data sets are countless. Data science methodologies are opening up new paths in numerous disciplines creating specialised fields that are associated with new professional profiles.
Thus, today, in urban planning, we talk of smart city technologies; in the press, of data journalism, and in departments of history, of digital humanities.
The first wave of data-driven products is also generating tensions and rifts in the respective industries, as is happening with the highly controversial personalised genome analysis services.
