Table 7-1 – Mapping table between big data ecosystem roles and
cloud computing based big data system context sub-roles

Big data ecosystem roles Cloud computing based big data system context sub-roles
Data provider CSN:data provider
Big data service provider CSP:big data infrastructure provider, CSP:big data application provider
Big data service customer CSC:big data service user

Figure 7-1 illustrates the cloud computing sub-roles for big data. Figure 7-1 also identifies activities specific
for big data and assigns them to cloud computing sub-roles. Arrows used in Figure 7-1 show the data and
service flows within a cloud computing based big data system context.

Figure 7-1 – Cloud computing based big data system context

Figure 7-2 illustrates, as an example scenario, how cloud computing supports big data services from the
viewpoints of CSP: Big data application providers (BDAPs) and CSP:Big data infrastructure providers (BDIPs).
A cloud based big data service, which is provided by a CSP:BDAP or a CSP:BDIP, utilizes other sub-roles of the
cloud service provider.
The CSP provides services of application and platform capability types such as software as a service and
platform as a service and these services can be used by the CSP:BDAP to perform data analysis, visualization
and other big data applications. In addition, the CSP:BDIP can use the cloud services of cloud infrastructure
capability types such as compute as a service, data storage as a service, infrastructure as a service and
network as a service to perform big data services for data collection, data processing, data management, etc.
