Chasing Future Meaning
The massive volume of new data surrounding us is growing at an extraordinary rate. This data plus its meaning and the the value it offers will inform the winners and losers of tomorrow. It's not that individual bits of data have such great value on their own, rather it's the combinations of data from different sources, and their combined meaning that is golden. The challenge of course is finding and combining all the data sources and their meanings into something really useful, and trusted. Often we can find data, but we don't know its accuracy, source or trustworthiness. We also don't often have a lot of time to find, combine and refine the data sources and their combined meaning. We need blockchain like processes that can include the source of data, its meaning and how it can be combined with other sources to reveal new insights.
