(ANSI: Washington, DC) -- As big data continue to inspire innovative changes in industry and enhance the way organizations and stakeholders work together, standardization supportive of this field remains a top priority in 2016.

Last year, efforts to support standardization related to big data were set in action when the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC1) on information technology launched JTC1 Working Group 9 (WG9) on big data. Active participant experts from China, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Norway, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, and the United States have since supported group efforts in this area, with several programs of work now in progress and seeking additional experts.

As the U.S. member body to ISO, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) encourages all U.S. stakeholders with an interest in big data standardization to get involved in JTC1 and WG9.
