What are your users doing on your website or in your store? How do you turn the piles of data your organization generates into actionable information? Where do you get complementary data to make yours more comprehensive? What tech, and what techniques?
The Fifth Elephant is a two day conference on big data.
Early Geek tickets are available from fifthelephant.doattend.com.
The proposal funnel below will enable you to submit a session and vote on proposed sessions. It is a good practice introduce yourself and share details about your work as well as the subject of your talk while proposing a session.
Each community member can vote for or against a talk. A vote from each member of the Editorial Panel is equivalent to two community votes. Both types of votes will be considered for final speaker selection.
It’s useful to keep a few guidelines in mind while submitting proposals:
-
Describe how to use something that is available under a liberal open source license. Participants can use this without having to pay you anything.
-
Tell a story of how you did something. If it involves commercial tools, please explain why they made sense.
-
Buy a slot to pitch whatever commercial tool you are backing.
Speakers will get a free ticket to both days of the event. Proposers whose talks are not on the final schedule will be able to purchase tickets at the Early Geek price of Rs. 1800.

Section:
Big Data Infrastructure & Processing
Technical level:
Beginner
Session type:
Lecture
Using Internet Archive as a case study, this talk presents aspects of big data in the context of long-term preservation.
Outline #
The Internet Archive has been archiving the internet since 1996. It also archives and makes available a vast collection of data including films, audio and books.
The Internet Archive is one of the earliest organizations to work with petabytes of data. It built its own infrastructure to store, process and manage its data reliably, much before the cloud. Being an archive, preservation of data is the primary concern and it affects engineering decisions.
This talk is an introduction to the Internet Archive and its infrastructure.
