Moving Toward Smarter Data: Graph Databases and Machine Learning - DZone Database
When we used to think about data, it was most often in regard to where data was going to be stored and how we would manage it. Yes, files worked for a while, but when manipulating data became an important business priority across industries, the “file” solution didn’t work so well anymore. To meet these increasing demands, applications were designed and developed, addressing data storage and manipulation needs simultaneously — thus, the “database” was born. Today, data is viewed quite differently. Beyond data manipulation, organizations are focusing on mining their data for more visibility into and a deeper understanding of the intelligence within that data. Utilizing the insights acquired from their data to help make informed business decisions is a key priority for business leaders and a major concern in the development, evolution, and adoption of database solutions. A new term emerged in the industry — digital assets. That data the world has been obsessing over.
