Abstract
We live in a time when information is cheaply available and saved as data nearly everywhere. The amount of generated data is growing exponentially. By the end of the year 2016 alone, 9000 exabytes of data will have been generated, equal to 9 trillion gigabytes or the capacity of 360 billion Blu-ray Discs [Schiele, 2016].
