1 Comment - You're right - there is no simple answer to the data silo problem. The CEO of my company (Synata) explored a few approaches in a piece on VentureBeat this week
Since the metadata used to build current applications is not going to change overnight, one would expect that a major innovation that might come from Big Data management tools would be new ways to use content analytics or system “crawling” to reveal new relationships between data existing in different information silos. There are already some conceptual tools and systems tools being used to attempt these goals
But when those harbor tides begin to rise, how will the larger community find its moorings -- let alone those granular nuggets? Higher Ground for Silo-Bunkers Finding that higher ground is not about storage capacity, network performance, security permissions, or even what naming convention to use
