big data management and visualization

beautiful-data

beautiful-data (BD) is an Open Source project that focuses on a large-scale data processing and visualization. Its ultimate goal is to provide researchers, business analysts and students a software framework for working with "big data" in relatively short order.

The code organization structure is loosely based on (inspired by) Jean-Paul Calderone's python project directory. Undoubtedly at some point we will have to integrate java and other languages/technologies. At which point, a reasonable refactoring effort is required.

The project's official website is at http://bd.pcwerk.com/

directory structure

lazy-bones-beautiful-data/
   LICENSE
   README.md
   bd_analyze/
   bd_collect/
   bd_store/
   bd_visualize/
   bin/
   website/

The bd_ directories contain source code for the four modules of project; the website directory contains the static web-related documents (e.g., .html, .css, and .js files); the bin directory contains wrapper scripts that can be used to execute the project. In theory, code within the bd_ directories should never be directly executed.

latex setup

Texmaker 3.2 was used to create the project.

The following template was used as requested: http://www.latextemplates.com/template/journal-article

If errors are returned in the the compiling of the file, that is probably due to an uninstalled font error. Please make sure to install texlive-fonts-recommended.
