Data science is the art and science of turning data into insights. Data science is a cross-disciplinary area that applies various concepts, methods, algorithms, and processes from diverse scientific disciplines, like mathematics, statistics, computer science, and information science. Data science aims to apply these methods and concepts employing suitable integrated development environments and tools to generate knowledge from partially unstructured, incomplete, and distributed data collections. Depending on the application context, this knowledge can then be transformed into concrete action, e.g., when companies make strategic decisions on future business policy based on trend analysis (Song and Zhu 2017; Parks 2017).
