Data science is the science (and art) of acquiring knowledge and insight from (all kinds of) data.
This can be used to add value, e.g., support decision making, develop new products or services, and deepen understanding.
Data, analytics and data science can help to:
Describe the current state of things
Detect unusual or abnormal events
Help identify new insights or patterns
Help diagnose the cause of events
Help identify inequalities and biases
Predict future events or activity
