The White House announced today plans to better utilize the torrent of data produced by agencies like the departments of Energy and Defense. The administration intends to invest $200 million in developing systems to better share and dissect large bodies of information.
The Big Data Research and Development Initiative encompasses six federal agencies including DARPA, the National Institute for Health, and the National Science Foundation and will fund projects designed to "extract knowledge and insights from large and complex collections of digital data," according to a press release.
