Java Specification Request (JSR) 73: Java Data Mining (JDM) entered the Public Review period under the Java Community Process (JCP) on November 12, 2002 and is available for public comment. See http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/73.jsp to access the Public Review documents. Review comments should be submitted by December 6, 2002 to jsr-73-comments@jcp.org.

Java Data Mining provides a framework for performing common data mining operations, while facilitating the introduction of new or non-standard mining algorithms. By separating algorithm details from function level specification, JDM strives to make data mining accessible to mining experts and novices. JDM focuses on mining functions including classification, approximation, clustering, association rules, and attribute importance (a.k.a. feature selection).

JDM leverages and influences other data mining standards such as the Data Mining Group's Predictive Model Markup Language, Object Management Group's Common Warehouse Metadata for Data Mining, and the ISO SQL standard SQL/MM for Data Mining.
