Abstract: In this presentation, based on the definition given by the director of the United Nations Global Pulse project, Robert Kirkpatrick, we propose a formal description of what big data is. The proposed definition is fundamental because we intend to address some misconceptions or misunderstandings of this neologism. Based on the proposed definition, we then show that agent‐based modelingessentially provides an exact operational definition  of big data, which has been largely ignored by the bid data literature developed so far. This connection can be seen from the work done by the biologist Brian Partridge on the discovery of the behavioral rules, the so‐called triple‐A rule, underlying the observed school of fish (Partridge, 1981). What Partridge did is to use a lab (platform) to place fishes with wearable devices so that their collective movement can be archived. After that, the archived (big) data was analyzed by human labor (nowadays, called human intelligence tasks by Amazon Mechanical Turks). Partridge’s pioneering work well demonstrates the essential characteristics of big data research. A few years later, Craig Reynolds, a computer animator, in his Boid project, used agent‐based simulation to replicate the essential collective navigation pattern of flocks of birds and to corroborate the earlier found triple‐A rule (Reynolds, 1987).

By integrating this two earlier studies, one being experimental and one being agent‐based simulation, the relation between agent‐based modeling and big data becomes clear. In a nutshell, to the best of our knowledge, agent‐based modeling is the only modeling methodology that can generate big data if the Kirkpatrick’s definition is applied. Statistics and machine learning can be used to analyze the observed or generated (experimental) big data, but they are not theoretic foundations for understanding how these data is generated in the first place.

Having this understanding in mind, we demonstrate a number of prototypical agent‐based models that may shed light on the current research involving big data. The first prototype is agent‐based model of on‐line customer reviews, and the second prototype is the agent‐based financial model. The former case can have implications for digital democracy and digital governance, whereas the latter case is relevant for the sentimental analysis in financial markets. In addition to these two prototypes directly related to digital societies or the Web 2.0 economy, we also address the possible extensions into digital humanities, such as agent‐based models related to evolutionary linguistics, history of ideas, and big history.
