Chapter 1.4: Demographics of Corporate Data

Fig. 1.4.3 Different environments.

In Fig 1.4.3, it is seen that certain industries have a lot of repetitive unstructured data.
Weather services, manufacturing, and public utilities are at the top of the list. These types
of corporations have activities that generate a huge amount of repetitive unstructured
data. On the other hand, small retailing organizations may have no repetitive unstructured
data at all.

There is then a spectrum of ratios of repetitive unstructured data to other types of data
depending on the business.

Another way to look at the same thing is to look at types of data. The spectrum of ratios

is seen in Fig. 1.4.4.
