Abstract

The term of big data was coined under the explosive increase of global data and was mainly used to describe these enormous datasets. In this chapter, we introduce the definition of big data, and review its evolution in the past 20 years. In particular, we introduce the defining features of big data, as well as its 4Vs characteristics, including Volume, Variety, Velocity, and Value. The challenges brought about by big data is also examined in this chapter.
