In this chapter, we went over the idea and importance of establishing context and perhaps identifying perspectives to big data, using the data profiling with R.

Additionally, we introduced and explored the R programming language as an effective means to profiling big data and used R in numerous illustrative examples.

Once again, R is an extremely flexible and powerful tool that works well for data profiling and the reader would be well served researching and experimenting with the languages and vast libraries available today, as we have only scratched the surface of the features currently available.

In the next chapter, we will dive into big data quality, using Data Manager.
