The complexity of Big Data technologies and the variety of knowledge and
skills

needed to design Big Data applications have emphasized the relevance of
systems 

for managing and documenting Big Data architectures. Documentation, 

reconfiguration, and verification are crucial tasks for a solid 

design of technological solutions, but are only partially supported in the 

current landscape of Big Data technologies. Rethinking data and metadata 

management in the context of Big Data technologies is then a primary goal
for 

future research.

Methods, principles, and perspectives developed by the Data Semantics
community 

can significantly contribute to the aformentioned issues. Solutions for 

integrating and querying schema-less data, have received much attention. 

Standards for metadata management have been proposed to improve data
integration 

among silos and to make data more discoverable and accessible through 

heterogeneous infrastructures. A further level of application of Data
Semantics 

principles in Big Data technologies involves Representing Processes, i.e.  

the entire pipeline of technologies connected to achieve a specific solution


and to make this representation shareable and verifiable to support a mature


implementation of the Big Data production cycle. 

Following the manifesto paper "Big Data Semantics" (J. Data Semantics 7(2), 

2018), which identified the important and yet unsolved issues of managing 

semantics of Big Data, we continue research on this topic. The aim of this 

special issue of FCDS is to promote research on Big Data semantics and to 

create a common place for sharing contributions to this topic.
