Using the RapidMiner community extension, you can share your RapidMiner workflows with data mininers all over the word using the myexperiment.org portal. On the myExpeiment web site you can discuss data mining processes, exchange workflows, and meet data miners working on similar problems.

Browsing and Opening Workflows

Within RapidMiner, you can open all public RapidMiner workflows. You can recognize the RapidMiner workflows by looking at the "Workflow Type" entry on the upper right corner. To browse the workflow on the Web, click the "Browse" button to open a Web browser showing the respective site.

The screenshot shows the information visible when selecting a workflow on the left hand side. On the right hand side you see the workflow title and preview as well as meta information like author and license.

To open this workflow directly in RapidMiner, click on open. RapidMiner will change to the process design perspective and you can immediately run the process.

Sharing and Uploading your Workflows

To upload your current RapidMiner process to myexperiment.org, click on upload and fill in the following dialog:

The description is automatically extracted from the process comment if it exists. Make sure to set the sharing permissions such that people can actually see your workflow.

When uploading your workflow please also make sure to choose an appropriate license.

Installation

The Community Extension can be downloaded from the Rapid-I Marketplace from within RapidMiner. Details are available here. In order to upload RapidMiner processes to myExperiment.org, you must create an account first.

Enabling the MyExperiment Browser in RapidMiner

To show the myExperiment browser, go to the View menu in RapidMiner and enable the MyExperiment Browser tab. I recommend to minimize the tab and open it whenever you need it. You can immediately start browsing the workflow repository, but in order to upload workflows, you need to make an account on myexperiment.org.
