Duet Inter­views

Big Data out of the box by Dr Caldarola

Dr Maria Cristi­na Cal­daro­la – Host of “Duet Interviews”

I am grate­ful to the many of you who have pur­chased my recent book Data Ware­house as well as my pre­vi­ous book Big Data and Law, and for those of you fol­low­ing my posts announc­ing Eng­lish and Man­darin in addi­tion to the orig­i­nal Ger­man version.

The response from read­ers has been over­whelm­ing, under­scor­ing the need for more infor­ma­tion about legal, reg­u­la­to­ry and oth­er aspects of Big Data and impor­tant tools which have arisen from it such as Data Ware­hous­es, and cur­rent events have con­tin­ued to keep this top­ic in the headlines.

Clear­ly the top­ic of Big Data and GDPR is so vast and so dynam­ic that I’ve decid­ed to con­tin­ue shar­ing my exper­tise through a series of inter­views and blogs.

I will speak with experts about Big Data and ask them the burn­ing ques­tions we are all won­der­ing about con­cern­ing this provoca­tive topic.

Duet will be a series of month­ly blogs where I will be inter­view­ing not­ed guests on top­ics relat­ed to Big Data as well as GDPR.

I will be ask­ing legal, eth­i­cal, tech­ni­cal, geo-polit­i­cal and even philo­soph­i­cal ques­tions sur­round­ing Big Data today to start mean­ing­ful dis­cus­sions about why and how Big Data will impact our present and future lives.

My guests and I will exchange ideas, iden­ti­fy chal­lenges, pro­pose solu­tions and, in the process, make the sub­ject of Big Data more inspir­ing to you.

Be informed on these vital issues and fol­low me on this impor­tant journey!
