-Data is not always tractable is its raw form. Sometimes we need to consolidate, collate, combine or condense the mountains of data we receive. This might just be a case of reducing the volume of data to a manageable level. For example, consider fast moving data from domains like instrumentation, finance, signal processing and operational intelligence. This kind of data can change at a rate of over ten values per second for individual sources, and much higher rates if we're observing multiple sources. Can a person actually consume this? For human consumption, aggregate values like averages, minimums and maximums can be of more use.
