- “Depot of Charts and
Instruments”
- “Patterns Everywhere”
- Inventories of
barometers, compasses, sextants, chronometers, log-books, maps, and charts – “rubbish”
- Standard log forms and
“bottles in the sea”
Mayer-Schonberger V, Cukier K, Houghton Miflin, 2013
The Result: Data as A Disruptive Technology
- 1.2 million data points
- Transformed shipping
- “Conceived outside
traditional academic circles”
- “Unearthing data from
material that no one thought had any value”
- Data use many times

“Datafication”
- Anything into data
- See things on a big
scale that cannot be seen on a small one
- “It will bring
fundamental changes”
- OK to re-use data
- N = All

“Whether or not the correction of these abnormalities once they are discovered will favorably alter the risk of development of disease, while reasonable to contemplate and perhaps attempt, remains to be demonstrated…”

Transformation is in the Air…
“A large sample size does not solve every problem. But it allows us to do a lot more, and sometimes it is just what we need.” “US models are being eclipsed by non-US studies that are much larger, yet considerably less expensive.” “These themes [include] integrating ‘big data’ science into the practice of epidemiology…foster integration with trials.”
