Abstract:

Big data is a kind of critical development resources. The ability of control and analysis on big data become the foundation of a country’s competitiveness in future.

Currently, developing a national big data strategy is approaching a common agreement. While how to develop the strategy and what should to be considered are hot topics among the industry and government experts. Therefore, some considerations were proposed based on both other countries practice and domestic research.

Key words: big data, national strategy, law and regulation
