DESCRIPTION:The definition of data science and the work of data scientists
  are fodder for bloggers the world over\,  lost in the puff and chatter ar

  are that have precipitated the invention of the idea of data science and 
 data scientists\, and some projects undertaken at BT in recent years that 
 help highlight these drivers. He will then describe what he thinks is a be
