Mosaic tiles from Byland Abbey. Medieval, 13th century. From North Yorkshire, England.
The creation of mosaic floors by combining different shapes and colours of tiles was a common practice in medieval English religious houses. The Cistercian order in particular favoured this type of floor and used it to spectacular effect in abbeys such as Rievaulx and Byland, both in Yorkshire.

モザイク（英語：mosaic、フランス語：mosaïque）は、小片を寄せあわせ埋め込んで、絵（図像）や模様を表す装飾美術の手法。石、陶磁器（タイル）、有色無色のガラス、貝殻、木などが使用され、建築物の床や壁面、あるいは工芸品の装飾のために施される。この装飾方法は古くから世界的に見られ、宗教画や幾何学模様など様々なものが描かれており、歴史上、カテドラルの内部空間やモスクの外壁などの装飾手法として特に有名である。

Mary Delany (née Granville) (14 May 1700 – 15 April 1788) was an English Bluestocking, artist, and letter-writer; equally famous for her "paper-mosaicks" and her lively correspondence.
She created 1,700 of these works, calling them her "Paper Mosaiks [sic]",[11] from the age of 71 to 88, when her eyesight failed her. During this time, Mary made nearly 1,000 of the paper flowers.[12]

Delany, in her eighties at this time, had a reputation for cutting out and making the intricate paper mosaics (collages) now in the British Museum.

This kind of analysis through the combination of big data sets is called the mosaic effect. And it isn't necessarily bad,
Mosaic Effect，馬賽克效應。蘇萊曼尼之死將美伊兩國推向戰爭的邊緣，並使世界陷入了動盪不安的七天。時報為此採訪了數十名內情人士，用深度報導還原了其中的細節。文中提到，在刺殺蘇萊曼尼前，一種“馬賽克效應”(Mosaic Effect)籠罩了美國中情局——官員們沒有獲得任何準確情報，但多種零散的信息拼湊在一起，使他們相信蘇萊曼尼正為襲擊美國大使館和基地做準備。如同馬賽克一般，這一效應指的是將大量數據或信息的結合、拼湊起來進行分析。
The “mosaic effect” is a new term in the literature on confidentiality. It received prominent mention in Memorandum M-13-13 from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), “Open Data Policy—Managing Information as an Asset” (OMB 2013), but a search for the term in the database Google Scholar produced no relevant hits.
The notion of a mosaic effect is derived from the mosaic theory of intelligence gathering, in which disparate pieces of information—although individually of limited utility—become significant when combined with other types of information (Pozen 2005). Applied to public use data, the concept of a mosaic effect suggests that even anonymized data, which may seem innocuous in isolation, may become vulnerable to re-identification if enough datasets containing similar or complementary information are released. Even though personal identifiers are removed from these datasets, an intruder who is able to piece together enough information may be able to re-identify individuals whose data are contained in one or more of these datasets. To do so, the intruder must possess or be able to secure at least some data on known individuals. Such information is readily available in computerized form in voter registration records, hospital discharge records, commercially marketed databases, and other sources (Rothstein 2010).
Another potential source of information on individuals is the worldwide web. Malin (2005) demonstrates the application of “trail matching” methods to re-identify IP addresses of website visitors. Common patterns in data trails left behind after website visits can be used to discover relationships between them that enable re-identification when some of the locations capture identifying information along with anonymous data. While re-identification in this context represents a different problem than re-identification of health data released by federal agencies, Malin’s results illustrate how re-identification can be accomplished with large amounts of mostly anonymous data when identifiers are attached to some of it.
