Big data concerns: externalities• The effects of a decision by stakeholders (e.g., governments, industry, scientists, policy-makers) that have an impact on a third party (especially members of the public).

Roadmap(s) Case study insights will be consolidated and used to build two roadmaps:

1. A research roadmap that focuses on what research, knowledge, technologies and skills are necessary to capture a greater share of the big data market by Europe

2. A policy roadmap for the development, use, re-use and liking of big data

These will be produced in collaboration with stakeholders, especially advisory board members and members of the big data community.
