Exploring Change – A New Dimension of Data Analytics

Summary: Introduces data-change exploration as big data’s “variability” dimension: interactively identifying, quantifying, and summarizing temporal changes in values, aggregates, and schemas. Proposes a change model, exploration primitives, and volatility measures to expose data quality issues and hidden processes. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
