This document discusses cloud computing and big data. It notes that while cloud computing standards have been developed since 2010 through organizations like ISO and ITU, big data standards are still being investigated. The relationship between cloud computing and big data is that big data will increasingly be stored and processed in the cloud due to the large data volumes. The document raises questions about what should be priorities for big data tools and services, and concludes that standards development is still needed to guide big data and cloud computing.
