Abstract:

Open (big) data are becoming a new trend among businesses as well as governments, which motivate a technology shift to data centric architecture using cloud computing and distributed platforms. Cloud computing and open (big) data are complementary approaches to storing, processing, analyzing, accessing and reporting information. This paper develops the issue of cloud computing and open (big) data and their impact on the enterprise architecture framework. It analyses and decomposes the existing frameworks and proposes a new conceptual framework, which defines the open (big) data cloud ecosystem including related platforms / tools and services for each category.
