Data lakes can be efficient when storing structured data, but analyzing that data can be incredibly difficult. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz, has created a “semantic” data lake through graphing the data lake into a more understandable format. With this, the scalability and storage space of data lakes can be used to their full potential.
