Oracle Backs New XML Standard to "Mindmeld"

Have you ever wondered how powerful it would be to read someone's mind? Soon, data mining software from different companies will be able to "mindmeld" by exchanging information and the context of that information with each other.

Today, information in one data mining application is locked away from others because there is no standard way of exchanging it. In order to eliminate the roadblock, Oracle is backing a new, vendor-independent XML-based standard called PMML (Predictive Model Markup Language).

PMML joins several other important standards Oracle is backing to drive more cohesive, real-time e-business intelligence -- so that companies can live long and prosper.
