We offer you now (september 2008) new pro services of datamining and data analysis. These new pro services has for objective to let you get some "statistics" informations, accurates, on a global amount, base of data that you should bring to our knowledge. That type of analysis can be useful in market studies or in web projects development.
To possibly perform some datamining process with Nicoweb, you should need before some services of data extraction, data import services also offered by Nicoweb.fr.
The datamining services need a pre-study of your request to let us see what are exactly the application and the scripts that are need to let you access to the informations you request to have.
This webpage from the Nicoweb.fr website presents you the differents steps that we advise you to follow in order to build with us in a successfull way some dataminig or data analysis processes.

The first step of a datamining process is to deinfe the data target to study, to analyse, to group in many ways to extract only the informations you're searching for. We could define some informations to remember, that allow us to square a datamining process. A non full list is print below :

• List of the informations, statistics, values to extract : the major objective of a datamining process is to extract some statistics ifnormations on all or part of a datasource. You will need to give us or ask us to build the list of the informations, values, statistics that you want to have at the final. You can note that, in the case of recurrently update datas, its possible to automatize the calcul and extraction step. You can note too, that without this list the datamining process cant be perform.

Once this step validated, we know exactly which informations to analyse, count, group, sort, etc We can pass to the next step.

Once the context of the data extraction process is fixed and validated, we can study the output format that you want to use for the datas resulting of the datamining process.
Nicoweb.fr is open in terms of formats and basically offer the following exports formats for your datas :

• SQL : the datas will be deliver to you as SQL langage "INSERT" or as a ".gzip" file. We'll send you all informations to import that type of datas into a MYSQL database for example.
• CSV/EXCEL : the datas will be deliver to you as "CSV". CSV is a well known data format that you can use with Ms-Excel or OpenOffice-Calc.
• XML : if you want, we can deliver you the datas as ".xml" files. The XML format will be fix by our services or will be create with your owns requirements and domains namespaces.
• PHP : if you work with PHP, you can want to get the datas as php serialized arrays files. Nicoweb offer you to deliver the datas resulting of the datamining process in this format.
• TEXTE : if this can be realize (depending on the data type you want to get), we'll can deliver you as basic text files or in a "brut version" the datas resulting of the datamining process.

You can choose one of the precedent described format or choose to access your datas with a REST API like it's describe in the next point of content.

If you choose a data access method, here it's what we offer you to realize.

• Data access via a REST API : we offer you to access to your datas resulting of the datamining process via a REST API (nftr: see the Flickr.com REST API to understand whats a REST API or contact us by email) on a Nicoweb server. This REST API will allow you to create your own high-level applications that read the datas from the nicoweb server and for which you'll can use some advanced search criterias.

The REST API creation next to datamining process are a relatively live activity of Nicoweb, so we invite you to contact us via email to see with us how we can realize your project.

If this webpage convince you that our pro services in terms of datamining and data analysis have interest for you, feel free to ask the questions you could have by writing us an email to let us study and resolve your request.
