At this point in time "Data Scientist" seems to be very loosely defined. I've seen everything from "must know Excel" to "must hold a PhD". You'll find lots of blog posts where people try to pin it down, but I don't think one definition will suffice. A more likely outcome is that we'll recognise specialisms within data science just like we have front-end, back-end, and other specialisms within programming.
