About the Data and the Road towards the Data Science

Summary/Abstract: The roots of data science started to grow approximately sixty years ago. The current state, however, began to form only two decades ago, highly influenced by the emergence of big data. As such, this article is a natural continuation of the similarly themed big data article, published in the preceding issue of this journal. The focus of this article is on the events that materially contributed towards the prominence of data science. Additionally, the article discusses the debate around What is data science? had by academics, public organizations and government entities over the years. An emphasis is given to the James Gray paradigm, known as the fourth approach to scientific discoveries. The leading ideas in establishing Data Science as a major in several US universities are outlined briefly.
