The use of Big Data to analyze occurrences, issues, phenomena, and the like in a variety of fields and disciplines is a rapidly developing trend in our increasingly interconnected world. References to Big Data are now a normal part of the daily discussions and technology discourse of average consumers as well as foremost experts in a range of industries. In an environment where all devices are interconnected and information is exchanged without the need for an intermediary, the rapid growth of Big Data is unavoidable and the scale of growth is unpredictable. Over the last decade, Big Data has demonstrated a remarkable capacity and utility to help different business communities make informed decisions, save money, and improve policymaking. The use of Big Data throughout the federal government is well documented, with several initiatives that utilize data to inform procedures, systems, and situational awareness in the work of a variety of federal agencies. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
