Hi,

Solistic Greeting be upon you one n'all

Swinging from vine to vine on the interweb

I happened upon the announcement a few weeks back of the Big Data Institute to be close to the British Library, this will also be close to the large BioInformatics centre which should be finished soon.

Turing wasn't a Big Data person was he, data back then was quite a bit smaller. Perhaps like the Max Planck Institutes in Germany there are a series of several Turing Institutes on various aspects of computing.
