   Got a VLDB that uses something like BLOBs ? Then see this, similar to Hadoop, now 2 other database vendors are implementing MapReduce in a way which will allow low level parallel processing be achieved with relatively simple imperative language.

   Advocates that decisions in all fields ought to be based on empirical facts/statistics. Apparently this view is controversial ;-).

   Chris Anderson is essentially arguing against a priori theoretical models, rather using induction that seeks correlations to show us the pattern. A controversial but useful approach!

   Hadoop is the type of technology most large Web companies are using to deal with petabytes of data, massive distributed clusters with the file system & database blurring. Whilst Yahoo are mostly responsible for Hadopp it is based on Google's ideas.

   Suggests splitting data stewards into Business Data Stewards(semantics) and Source Data Stewards(Physical). Some split like this is needed as "steward" is too broad a role.
