New Areas of Contributions and New Addition of Security

Open Journal of Big Data (OJBD) (www.ronpub.com/ojbd) is an open access journal, which addresses the aspects of Big Data, including new methodologies, processes, case studies, poofs-of-concept, scientific demonstrations, industrial applications and adoption. This editorial presents two articles published in the first issue of the second volume of OJBD. The first article is about the investigation of social media for the public engagement. The second article looks into large-scale semantic web indices for six RDF collation orders. OJBD has an increasingly improved reputation thanks to the support of research communities. We will set up the Second International Conference on Internet of Things, Big Data and Security (IoTBDS 2017), in Porto, Portugal, between 24 and 26 April 2017. OJBD is published by RonPub (www.ronpub.com), which is an academic publisher of online, open access, peer-reviewed journals. TYPE OF PAPER AND
