The Privacy Dilemma for Official Statistics in a
Big Data World by Steve Mac Feely in Open Access Biostatistics &Bioinformatic: Crimson Publishers- Bioinformatics Open Access Journals
Over recent years the potential of big data for
government, for business, for society has excited much comment, debate and even
evangelism. Described as the ‘new science’ with all the answers [1] or a
paradigm destroying phenomena of enormous potential [2] big data are all the
rage. Official statisticians, already with a long history of using non-survey
data, which are often very large in terms of volume, must decide whether big
data is really something new and useful or just hype. On the one hand, some
argue that big data needs to be seen as an entirely new ecosystem comprising
new data, new tools and methods [3]. Whereas others argue to the contrary that
big data is just hype and that big data are just Data [4]. In deciding whether
big data can be useful for official statistics, National Statistics Offices
(NSOs) must keep the protection of confidential data at the top of their
decision making tree.
