DATA MINING LANGUAGES STANDARDS

Abstract

The increasing of the database dimension creates many problems, especially when we need to access, use and analyze data. The data overflow phenomenon in database environments imposes the application of different data mining methods, in order to find relevant information from large databases. A lot of data mining tools emerged in the last years. The standardization of data mining languages become in the last years a very important topic. The paper presents Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) standards from the Data Mining Group. PMML, a standard language for defining data mining models, which allows users to develop models within one vendor's application, and use other vendors' applications to visualize, analyze, evaluate or otherwise use the models.
