Big Data is a catch-all term to describe data sets large enough to be analyzed via computer algorithms in order to discover patterns or trends that can be used to enhance human decision-making or automatically cause an automated action to take place.
Big data can be structured (data in fixed fields of a database) or unstructured (everything else).
