Abstract

An approach to finding facets of big data across multiple subject fields which have mutual relevance and provide useful information and insights. The approach is based on an analysis of diagrams associated with facets found in big data, such as that available on the internet, and the results of the analysis are further refined through a regional analysis and a search of social media data for events pertaining to the facets. Embodiments can further make use of statistical analysis software to provide statistical evidence related to the facets that can validate the results and findings of facet relevancy.

Claims7

Dependent claims

A method for determining relevant facets of big data, the method comprising:

searching a first one or more data sources for one or more facets, wherein the one or more facets comprise at least one of facet data and facet diagrams;
creating one or more facet diagrams for the at least one or more facet data;
comparing the one or more facet diagrams to a base facet diagram to generate a first group of relevant facet diagrams based on a diagrammatic analysis;
filtering the first group of relevant facet diagrams based on at least one of a regional analysis and a search of social media to generate a second group of relevant facet diagrams;
and
outputting the second group of relevant facet diagrams.
