Rapidminer Documentation

Thisarticle shows how you can easily integrate the CData JDBC driver for XML into your processes in RapidMiner. This article uses the CData JDBC Driver for XML to transfer XML data to a process in RapidMiner.

See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation to authenticate to your data source: The data provider models XML APIs as bidirectional database tables and XML files as read-only views (local files, files stored on popular cloud services, and FTP servers). The major authentication schemes are supported, including HTTP Basic, Digest, NTLM, OAuth, and FTP. See the Getting Started chapter in the data provider documentation for authentication guides.

See the Modeling XML Data chapter for more information on configuring the relational representation. You will also find the sample data used in the following examples. The data includes entries for people, the cars they own, and various maintenance services performed on those cars.

You can now use your XML connection with the various RapidMiner operators in your process. To retrieve XML data, drag the Retrieve operator from the Operators view. With the Retrieve operator selected, you can then define which table to retrieve in the Parameters view by clicking the folder icon next to the "repository entry." In the resulting Repository Browser, you can expand your connection node to select the desired example set.

D2L & Blackboard Collaborate (Elluminate) Information: Class activities will be carried out in both the D2L and Blackboard Collaborate (previously known as Elluminate) systems. Students will be automatically enrolled into the D2L class based on MySJSU registration, and therefore do not need to manually enroll. This course will be available one week prior to the start of semester.

This course is an introduction to the emerging field of text/data/web mining from the practical perspective of library and information services. Emphasis is on basic theoretical concepts, major approaches/techniques, process of mining, and use of software tools. Web content mining, text mining, and data miningmining are covered in sequence. Students learn theoretical basics and practical skills by conducting topical research in groups and completing one individual project of multiple stages.

At the start of semester, students will be randomly assigned into groups (of optimal size five) to complete the project of topical research. Each group will work on a different topic collaboratively, reading/summarizing book chapters and reviewing recent scholarly publications. As part of topical research, students will conduct online discussion within groups, to share findings and comment on related issues. Each member will lead/moderate online discussion on one aspect of the group's research topic, and be responsible for writing up related parts/sections of the group's research report. The groups will be scheduled to give a presentation in Blackboard Collaboarte at different points of time throughout the semester. Attendance in presentation sessions is optional, and the meeting will be recorded/archived for later viewing.

All written work should be professionally prepared following the APA editorial style and established convention of academic writing, free of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Tutorial, assistence, and resources for improving academic writing skills are available at the Writing Resources Center.

Letter grades will be assigned to all assignments, the final exam yields scores on a 100-point scale. The Standard SJSU SLIS Grading Scale will be used to translate letter grades to points and vice versa to calculate a proportionate total of points for the final grade. No extra credit is offered for additional work to make up for missed assignment.

Late submission will not be accepted unless appropriate documentation of legitimate cause for the delay is provided. Request for deadline extension will be treated the same as of Incomplete in accordance to the university/school policy.

Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each unit of credit, a minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally 3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture) for instruction or preparation/studying or course related activities including but not limited to internships, labs, clinical practica. Other course structures will have equivalent workload expectations as described in the syllabus.

Instructional time may include but is not limited to:

Working on posted modules or lessons prepared by the instructor; discussion forum interactions with the instructor and/or other students; making presentations and getting feedback from the instructor; attending office hours or other synchronous sessions with the instructor.

Student time outside of class:

In any seven-day period, a student is expected to be academically engaged through submitting an academic assignment; taking an exam or an interactive tutorial, or computer-assisted instruction; building websites, blogs, databases, social media presentations; attending a study group;contributing to an academic online discussion; writing papers; reading articles; conducting research; engaging in small group work.

As members of the academic community, students accept both the rights and responsibilities incumbent upon all members of the institution. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with SJSU's policies and practices pertaining to the procedures to follow if and when questions or concerns about a class arises. See University Policy S90-5 at -5.pdf. More detailed information on a variety of related topics is available in the SJSU catalog at -dbgen/catalog/departments/LIS.html. In general, it is recommended that students begin by seeking clarification or discussing concerns with their instructor. If such conversation is not possible, or if it does not serve to address the issue, it is recommended that the student contact the Department Chair as a next step.

Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drop, grade forgiveness, etc. Refer to the current semester's Catalog Policies section at Add/drop deadlines can be found on the current academic year calendars document on the Academic Calendars webpage at _calendars/. The Late Drop Policy is available at Students should be aware of the current deadlines and penalties for dropping classes.

Your commitment, as a student, to learning is evidenced by your enrollment at San Jose State University. The University Academic Integrity Policy F15-7 at -7.pdf requires you to be honest in all your academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. The Student Conduct and Ethical Development website is available at
