"Importing data uzing Webservice"

smitra

Hi.
I am using RapidMiner 5 and exploring the different features of it.I have tried out importing data from the excel file and the MySQL server.
I would like to know what all other sources can be used to import the data.
I am very much interested to know how can we import the data using webservice.Is it possible to use webservice to import the data?If yes then what all things i need to have and what are the steps i need to follow.

Please let me the steps for the above requirements..
Any idea or suggestions are welcome..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you can use any other read operator available in RapidMiner. please take a look there, I won't write them down here.
You can also enter an URL into most of the read operators file name field, it will download the data source automatically.
Together with the Text Extension you can query webservices to enrich existing data sets, or you can crawl the web to get data in the first place.
