Whilst looking into some suitable questions to ask about Big Data, I can across an excellent poster titled “Do you know Big Data?” produced by Altamira.

The poster covers a set of questions that help you question Big Data and a Big Data project.

• What is Big Data?
• What types of Big Data are there?
• How do we extract knowledge from Big Data?
• What do we do with knowledge we extract?
• What types of Visual Techniques are there?
• What types of Statistical Algorithms are there?
• How big is Big Data?
• What is a Data Scientist?
• How do we implement Big Data solutions?
• How do we address privacy and ethics in Big Data?
• How do we secure Big Data?
• What are leading Big Data tools?
• What questions should we ask about Databases?
• What questions about Predictive Tools?

A useful tool as a starting place to research further elements of Big Data.
