Professor Roberto Zicari of ODBMS.org recently posted his interview with Amazon.com CTO and VP Dr. Werner Vogels about the future of big data, and where Amazon is going with it.

Within the article, Zicari reflects upon Vogels’ mention of a book called The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery (you can download a free PDF version of the book here).  The book is a collection of essays that expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized.  Also, there’s an interesting article (titled Sailing in an Ocean of 0s and 1s) that talks about The Fourth Paradigm.
