Employees and analysts "wear different hats" daily, and the staggering amount of data available isn't always structured and tagged. The FBI, just like many civilian agencies, is wary about what it shares, even with other feds.</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">"The hardest part for us is sharing data outside. We want to share more data with people," Dvorak said. "You have to have a governance process that as data is created, it is properly marked. How data is shared and properly marked is all brand new thinking in this world. When we hand data off to [another federal agency], we want to have a mutual agreement on how to protect that data."</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Dirk Rankin, chief technology officer for the National Counterterrorism Center, said one of the problems with big data is that it's frequently described quantitatively. Techies use words like "volume" and "velocity" to describe big data, but qualitative descriptions are more beneficial for feds looking to maximize the value they get from big data, he said. </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Correlations and key insights made from disparate groups of data within government are not happening as fast as they need to be, and better data governance could improve investment returns.</p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">"My emphasis is on driving value out of the data we have and making it usable to analysts and people paid to make judgments based on that data," Rankin said. </p>   <div class="aboutAuthor"> <p id="ph_pcontent2_0_AuthorInfo_AboutAuthor" class="author">About the Author</p> <p> <strong></strong> Frank Konkel is a staff writer covering big data, mobile, open government and a range of science/technology issues.
