Abstract

This paper explores the integration of text mining and data mining techniques, digital library systems, and computational and data grid technologies with the objective of developing an online classification service exemplar. We discuss the current research issues relating to the use of data mining algorithms and toolkits for textual data; the necessary changes within the Cheshire3 Information Framework to accommodate analysis workflows; the outcomes of a demonstrator based on the National Library of Medicine's Medline dataset; and the provision of comparable metrics for evaluation purposes. The prototype has resulted in extremely accurate online classification services and offers a novel method of supporting text mining and data mining within a highly scaled computational environment, integrated seamlessly into the digital library architecture.
