Big Data H-C-I Everywhere: A Data Service Model From Trees to Forest

On the surface, HCI mostly discusses the interaction styles of individual applications. In a heterogeneous information interchanging landscape across the systems, knowledge representation of linked data crossing the subject domains often creates deeper level challenges for users to navigate and discover effectively. With rapid expansion in data size, diversity and speed from different knowledge domains, the big data concept and discussions are coming to the main stream. In this topic we’ll examine the big data sources evolved from universe 1.0 and 2.0, and introduce the linked data in a semantic web environment. At the same time we’ll initiate a discussion about the Big Data HCI to exam new challenge and to explore better practices in building the bridges and new practices in a HCI community. Author
