This initiative aims at:
- setting standards,
- defining best practices,
- designing frameworks,
- and building platforms
in order to facilitate:
- collection/ingestion,
- storage,
- processing,
- and visualization
of time series data on the big data scale.
This initiative is to be led and directed by individuals but not by for-profit organizations. We encourage business to share problems and usecases. We encourage researchers to propose and point out to solutions. We encourage engineers to implement and build systems.
The goal is to put the suitable components in each stage and make the connection among stages possible. That would be achieved by either:
- using existing open source components,
- making new ones,
- or enabling existing ones.
