KNIME (Konstanz Information Miner) is a free open-source data management and analysis platform that manages "data access, data transformation, initial investigation, powerful predictive analytics, visualisation and reporting."[2]
Product history
In early 2004, a team of at the University of Konstanz software developers with experience developing pharmaceutical applications began working on a new collaboratory research tool for data management, analysis, and visualization.[3] On July 28, 2006, a version 1.0.0 was released to the public as free open-source software.[1]
Version 2.0 of the software was introduced in December 2008 with a new workflow engine and database functionality.[4] With the release of version 2.1.0 on October 23, 2009[4], KNIME moved from the Aladdin Free Public License to the GNU General Public License, v3.0.[3] The December 2010 release of 2.3.0 brought KNIME to Mac OS X for the first time.[5]
Development for KNIME has been steady since its debut.
