\"\"<\/a>I was the orginal architect and author of this 100% Java data-mining system.\u00c2\u00a0 Once known as D2K (Data to Knowledge), this system was most fundamentally a model for designing custom data-mining solutions.\u00c2\u00a0 It was as well a rapid application development environment for the development of those solutions with a powerful run-time environment. I wrote the original prototype for D2K while working for the Automated Learning Group at NCSA.\u00c2\u00a0 Tom Redman (from the Mosaic project) would soon join the team to create the interface and RAD component of the system.\u00c2\u00a0 David Tcheng’s ideas were the intellectual foundations of many of the algorithms implemented within the system.\u00c2\u00a0 I did 2 more major rewrites of the infrastructure during my time in the ALG during which time this small research group grew from 3 to well more than a dozen people increasingly focused on some aspect of D2K.\u00c2\u00a0 D2K quickly turned into a flagship effort of NCSA and certainly of ALG and subsequently become the central tool for a startup company specializing in real-time analytics: River Glass<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 There is now a project underway to develop a next generation evolution of this software, a semantic-driven system called Meandre of which I am only an interested observer.<\/p>\n
