Full title and description

Information technology — Big data reference architecture — Part 5: Standards roadmap. This technical report surveys existing and in‑development standards relevant to big data, performs a gap analysis, and proposes priorities and recommendations for future standardization activities to support the Big Data Reference Architecture (BDRA) ecosystem.

Abstract

ISO/IEC TR 20547-5:2018 describes big‑data relevant standards (those already published and those under development), identifies gaps where standards are needed, and establishes a prioritized roadmap to guide future standards work for big data systems and architectures. The report is intended to help standards bodies, working groups and stakeholders coordinate work and align efforts across domains.

General information

• Status: Published.
• Publication date: 2018-02 (February 2018).
• Publisher: Joint ISO/IEC technical report produced under ISO/IEC JTC 1 (SC 42).
• ICS / categories: 35.020 (Information technology).
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (2018).
• Number of pages: 17 (ISO publisher count).

Scope

The report maps standards that are relevant to big data architectures and deployments, including standards already available and those under development. It identifies technical and domain gaps (for example in data management, metadata, provenance, interoperability, security and privacy) and offers prioritized recommendations for where standardization efforts should be focused to support the BDRA and interoperable big data ecosystems. The scope is primarily normative for standards developers and advisory for implementers and decision makers.

Key topics and requirements

• Survey of existing standards relevant to big data (data formats, metadata, provenance, APIs, security and privacy approaches).
• Identification of standards under development and mapping to BDRA components.
• Gap analysis highlighting areas lacking standards (interoperability, governance, reference interfaces).
• Prioritized roadmap and recommendations for future standards work (short‑, mid‑ and long‑term priorities).
• Guidance for standards developers, SDOs and consortia to coordinate efforts across domains and technologies.

Typical use and users

Used by standards developers, national bodies, technical committees (notably ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42), SDOs, enterprise and solution architects, platform vendors, researchers and policy makers who need an organized view of the standards landscape for big data and guidance on priorities for future standardization. It is advisory for system architects planning interoperable big data solutions.
