Resumen
The article reveals that lacking standards for statistical and data mining models, applications cannot leverage benefits of data mining. The data mining and statistical models generated by commercial data mining applications are often used as components in other systems, including those in customer relationship management, enterprise resource planning, risk management and intrusion detection. The Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) is an XML standard being developed by the Data Mining Group, a vendor-led consortium established in 1998 to develop data mining standards. PMML aims to provide enough infrastructure for an application to be able to produce a model and another application to consume it simply by reading the PMML XML data file. To facilitate integration of data mining with application software, several data mining application softwares have been developed like SQL Multimedia and Applications Packages, Java Specification Request et al. Standards have also been developed for defining the software objects used in data mining, the business processes used in data mining, and Web-based services for mining remote and distributed data.
