2. Innovation and entrepreneurship often go hand in hand Do we really understand these concepts? How do these things apply to space exploration and other hard-core scientifically driven domains? This talk will examine some of the key elements of innovation and entrepreneurship and show how new approaches to Data Science can help attain them

Ontologies and Data Models Large Scale Graph Stores Users, Collaborations, Curations Similar to space exploration, the intelligence domain offers a glimpse into Data Science complexities: Complex environments require detailed analytics capture Large-scale connectivity is needed between data and real world facts Reasoning is needed to infer missing data and codify patterns Situational awareness needs utilize context - Spatial, Temporal, Cognitive and Social Context all matter Users need to collaborate over the same data simultaneously
