Executive Summary This was prepared by the NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework Volume 2: Taxonomies Definitions and Taxonomy Subgroup to facilitate better communication and understanding across the participants in this field by expanding on the functional components of the reference architecture. The top-level roles of the taxonomy are Data Provider, System Orchestrator, Data Consumer, Big Data Application Provider, Big Data Framework Provider, Security and Privacy, and Management. The activities within each of these roles are specified to see where the functional components reside. This taxonomy is not meant to be an exhaustive list; instead, it describes what is new in Big Data systems. In some cases this requires also listing current practices and technologies in the same category. The consists of seven volumes, each of which addresses a NIST Big Data Interoperability Framework specific key topic, resulting from the work of the NBD-PWG. In addition to this volume, the other volumes are as follows: Volume 1, Definitions Volume 3, Use Cases and General Requirements Volume 4, Security and Privacy Requirements Volume 5, Architectures White Paper Survey Volume 6, Reference Architectures Volume 7, Technology Roadmap The authors emphasize that the information in these volumes represents a work in progress and will evolve as time goes on and additional perspectives are available.
