Definitions of big data may differ within the computing or business world. In general, the term refers to structured and unstructured data that is extremely large in volume and/or complex—and due to these characteristics, it is difficult to manage with standard data processing or storage. The phrase “big data” may also refer to the processing techniques that an organization employs to manage the huge, complex, or time-sensitive sets of information it receives.
Law Glossary
Cloud computing law deals with the legal issues, such as data confidentiality, that occur when business and personal assets are placed on a cloud computing service. Because the IT infrastructure used in the cloud is owned by someone other than the organization collecting the information, issues arise. Cloud computing allows companies to use fewer resources and may involve public, private, and hybrid versions of cloud processing and storage.

What Is a Non-Fungible Token (NFT)?
The definition of a Non-Fungible Token, also known as an NFT, is a digital certificate (or token) which is stored on decentralized ledgers popularly referred to as the blockchain. NFTs use software code, referred to as “smart contracts,” to transfer the digital certificate of ownership, ensuring proof of ownership in the process. Like cryptocurrency, NFTs also use the blockchain to record transactions, but where cryptocurrency creates interchangeable (or “fungible”) tokens, NFTs create unique, noninterchangeable tokens with distinct identifiers.
