Information technology – Big data reference architecture – Part 3: Reference architecture

Abstract

This document specifies the security and privacy aspects applicable to the big data reference architecture (BDRA) including the big data roles, activities and functional components and also provides guidance on security and privacy operations for big data. © ISO/IEC 2022 All rights reserved© BSI 2022, All rights reserved

Scope

What is ISO/IEC 20547‑3 about?

ISO/IEC 20547 discusses a standardized approach for developing and implementing big data architectures and providing references for approaches.

ISO/IEC 20547‑3 is the third part of a multi-series of international standard on big data reference architecture (BDRA) which includes concepts and architectural views.

BDRA under ISO/IEC 20547‑3 serves as a fundamental reference point for big data standardization and provides an overall architecture framework for the basic concepts and principles of a big data system.

ISO/IEC 20547‑3 specifies two architectural viewpoints:

• A user view defining roles/sub-roles, their relationships and types of activities within a big data ecosystem.
• A functional view defining the architectural layers and the classes of functional components that implement the activities of the roles/sub-roles within the user view.

Note: Under ISO/IEC 20547‑3 the model is not tied to any specific vendor products, services, or reference implementation, nor does it define prescriptive solutions that inhibit innovation.

Who is ISO/IEC 20547‑3 for?

ISO/IEC 20547‑3 on reference architecture is useful for:

• Big data application providers
• Big data framework providers
• Big data service partners
• Government departments
• Architects
• Agencies
• Consumers

Why should you use ISO/IEC 20547‑3?

Big data reference architecture (BDRA) is a logical and physical structure that dictates how high volumes of data are ingested, processed, stored and managed. It is an authoritative source of information about a specific subject area that guides and constrains the instantiations of multiple architectures and solutions.

The key goal of ISO/IEC 20547‑3 is to facilitate a shared understanding across multiple products, organizations, and disciplines about current architectures and future direction.

ISO/IEC 20547‑3 helps in providing a technical reference for comparison and alignment of current architectures and future projects.
