Data Science
Data science is defined as a "concept that unifies statistics, data analysis, informatics, and their related methods" in order to "understand and analyze actual phenomena" using data. It employs techniques and theories from a variety of disciplines, including mathematics, statistics, computer science, information science, and domain knowledge.
As a result, data science differs from both computer science and information science. During his acceptance speech, Award winner Jim Gray described data science as a "fourth paradigm" of science (empirical, theoretical, estimation, and now data-driven), claiming that "everything about science is changing because of the impact of information technology" and the data deluge.
