Data Science Phoenix is excited to have Billy Sokol from MarkLogic (http://www.marklogic.com/) in April 2016. Billy will discuss application of advanced database technology to address emerging data complexity issues.

• Responding to widespread proliferation of data in the enterprise, including related information stored in non-integrated systems and the increasing presence of semi-structured and unstructured data.

• Using data not present in the enterprise, such as social media, weather, and customer behavior data together with internal data to enable new forms of analysis.

• Addressing security and data governance concerns in a multi-stakeholder and multi-system environment.

Additionally, we will show how the concept of Semantics can help reveal unexpected relationships in data through a demonstration of a system designed to detect prescription drug fraud.
