Submission Showcase#Hadoop4Good

What is it?

Big Issues. Big Data. Big Solutions.

Big data exists in just about everything we use and do. It comes from

phones, cars, roads, power lines, waterways, food crates, and

innumerable other items you’d never think of as computers.

This data speaks volumes about our collective behavior and society –

so let’s use it to do something incredible!

IBM invited developers and data enthusiasts to take a deep dive into

real world civic issues using big data and IBM Bluemix’s Analytics for

Hadoop service. They analyzed one of our curated datasets or

brought their own and used Hadoop to create clickable and interactive

data visualizations highlighting insights they found.
