Abstract

This work presents a methodological approach to build distributed information systems intended to work with inductive machine learning. More specifically, it introduces the METALA architecture. It is a set of recommendations which allows an user to work, generically, with that task. Web usage mining, using transactions clustering is used, as an example of possible applications of METALA. A methodological work path is followed to integrate not only the clustering algorithms but the produced models (i.e. centroids) from data. We demonstrate that a powerful web usage mining tool can be built by reusing a general purpose tool for inductive learning and with very little effort.
