Information technology — Big data reference architecture — Part 3: Reference architecture
This document specifies the big data reference architecture (BDRA). The reference architecture includes concepts and architectural views. The reference architecture specified in this document defines two architectural viewpoints: — a user view defining roles/sub-roles, their relationships, and types of activities within a big data ecosystem; — a functional view defining the architectural layers and the classes of functional components within those layers that implement the activities of the roles/sub-roles within the user view. The BDRA is intended to: — provide a common language for the various stakeholders; — encourage adherence to common standards, specifications, and patterns; — provide consistency of implementation of technology to solve similar problem sets; — facilitate the understanding of the operational intricacies in big data; — illustrate and understand the various big data components, processes, and systems, in the context of an overall big data conceptual model; — provide a technical reference for government departments, agencies and other consumers to understand, discuss, categorize and compare big data solutions; and — facilitate the analysis of candidate standards for interoperability, portability, reusability, and extendibility.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see www .iso .org/

Introduction
The ISO/IEC 20547 series is intended to provide users with a standardized approach to developing
and implementing big data architectures and provide references for approaches. ISO/IEC TR 20547-1
provides users with an overview of the reference architecture framework described in this document
and a process for applying that framework in developing an architecture. ISO/IEC TR 20547-2 provides
a collection of big data use cases and decomposes those use cases into technical considerations that
big data architects and system implementers can consider. This document describes the reference
architecture in terms of User and Functional views. Those views can be used by the big data architect
to describe their specific system. ISO/IEC 20547-4 describes the security and privacy aspects unique
to big data. ISO/IEC TR 20547-5 provides a list of standards and their relationship to the reference
architecture that architects and implementers can consider as part of the design and implementation of
their system.
