Definition: Data revolution
Category: General concept
An explosion in the volume of data, the speed with which data are produced, the number of producers of data, the dissemination of data, and the range of things on which there is data, coming from new technologies such as mobile phones and the "internet of things", and from other sources, such as qualitative data, citizen-generated data and perceptions data. A growing demand for data from all parts of society. http://www.undatarevolution.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/A-World-That-Counts.pdf
