Introduction to Datafication

This book presents the process and framework you need to transform aspects of our world into data that can be collected, analyzed, and used to make decisions. You will understand the technologies used to gather and process data from many sources, and you will learn how to analyze data with AI and ML models.
Datafication is becoming increasingly prevalent in many areas of our lives, from business to education and healthcare. It has the potential to improve decision-making by providing insights into patterns, trends, and correlation between seemingly unconnected pieces of data. This book explains the evolution, principles, and patterns of datafication used in our day-to-day activities. It covers how to collect data from a variety of sources, using technologies such as edge, streaming techniques, REST, and frameworks, as well as data cleansing and data lineage. A data analysis framework is provided to guide you in designing and developing AI and ML projects, including the details of sentiment and behavioral analytics.
Introduction to Datafication teaches you how to engineer AI and ML projects by using various methodologies, covers the security mechanisms to be applied for datafication, and shows you how to govern the datafication process with a well-defined governance framework.
