Project Description
Data Patterns is a library or ECL Bundle that provides data profiling and research tools to an ECL programmer. It can be used in three ways:
- Inside ECL Watch (the easiest)
- Using the Data Patterns Bundle
- Using the Std.DataPatterns module in ECL
The candidate can use the free version of XMLMind Editor (or the XML Editor of their choice) and will submit pull requests to our GitHub Repository.
Completion of this project involves:
A new stand-alone Data Patterns book with the following sections:
- Overview
- Using Data Patterns in ECL Watch
- Using the DataPatterns bundle
- Using Std.DataPatterns module methods
We will provide some sample data files to process. These files will be made to best demonstrate some of the capabilities of the product. For example, one file might have an unusual skew or interesting MIN/MAX values.
An includible module (chapter) in DocBook XML format
This chapter will be included in two books: The Standard Library Reference and the new Data Patterns book
