Knime is a visual programming language for analysing and displaying data. It models the flow of data in tables as a graphical workflow, made up of nodes and edges. To learn more about Knime, go here: https://www.knime.com/.
AndlRaKnime provides a set of nodes that implement the Relational Algebra. Using these nodes allows you to perform SQL-like queries on a wide variety of non-SQL data sources, such as CSV files or data retrieved online. For more about the Relational Algebra see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra.
The set of nodes is currently:
- Selection (as a Boolean expression)
- Projection
- Join (and Semijoin, Antijoin)
- Rename
- Union (and Minus, Intersection, Difference)
- New Value (as a JEXL expression).
For more about JEXL see here: http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jexl/.
Sample workflows are included to demonstrate each of these these capabilities. Here is an example.
An early version of AndlRaKnime has been released for comment and feedback.
