Abstract: The paper introduces an overview of the issue of "big data". It provides some "guestimates" of its size (volume, market, features), and investigates the real meaning of the phenomenon based on case studies from big data pioneers and involved industries. It takes a look at the main drivers, and at some likely outputs. The paper identifies some of the tensions and issues brougth by this new growth industry and reviews the policies needed to face the challenges ahead.
