Fusing multiple data streams comes
with its challenges
Different Anonymisation
Data need to be anonymised to
meet regulations, and vendors
have different approaches for
that
Different Sample Bias
Data may not be collected using
random samples, e.g. need
extrapolation to the total
population
Different Aggregations
Data come in different spatial
aggregations such as grid cells
of different sizes or
administrative boundaries
