LISp-Miner Control Language Reference

LISp-Miner is an academic system for Knowledge Discovery in Databases, see lispminer.vse.cz. This reference describes its scripting language based on Lua. It allows for calling of LISp-Miner internal functions and accessing user-data stored in metabase.

To execute scripts use the LMExec.exe module. There are several demo examples available, including a more complex demo called EverMinerSimple. For viewing and editing scripts use a text editor with Lua syntax highlighting -- eg. PSPad (you have to add Lua in Settings/Highlighter settings by clicking on <not assigned> and looking-up Lua in User Highlighters).

If LMCL has been used, then cite the following publication:

Disclaimer

Be aware, that the scripting language is a powerfull tool that comes with many warnings regarding possibility of mishandled computer automatization. Run only scripts from trusted sources and that you do understand. It is a sole responsibility of the script authors to properly care for all the possible states the script could enter.
