The modified Ohri Framework tries to mash the following
0) HTTPS rather than HTTP
1) Encryption and Compression Software for data transfer (like PGP)
2) Open source stats package like R in cloud computer (like Amazon EC2 or Rightscale with hadoop)
3) GUI to make it easy to use (like Rattle GUI and PMML Package)
4) A Data Mining Open Source Package (like Rapid Miner or Splunk)
5) RIA Graphics (like Silverlight )
6) Secure Output to cloud computing devices (like Google Docs)
7) Billing or Priced at simple cost plus X % (where simple cost can be like 0.85 cent /per instance hour or more depending on usage and X should not be more than 15 %)
8) Open source sharing of all code to ensure community sandboxing
Intention is to remove fixed computing costs of servers and desktops to normal PC’s (Ubuntu Linux ) with (Firefox or IE Explorer ) access to secure data mining on demand .
On tap demand mining to anyone in the world without going for the big license purchases/renewals (software expenses) or big hardware purchases (which become obsolete in 2-3 years).
Google earth stores values into KML files . These are almost like XMl file formats. The zipped versions of the KML file is the KMZ file .(It beats me why Google Wanted to create a zipped file format for KML ,since most KML files are extremely small).
To do any geo-coding analysis with Google Earth, here are two SAS papers from Lex Jansen’s terrific site.
1)
Put Your Customers on the Map: Integrating SAS/GRAPH and Google Earth
(http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2008/252-2008.pdf)
Daniel Kuiper, Koen Vyverman (SAS Global Forum, 2008-03)
and
2) Using SAS and Google Earth to Access and Display Air Pollution Data
(http://www2.sas.com/proceedings/forum2008/253-2008.pdf)
Joshua Drukenbrod, David Mintz (SAS Global Forum, 2008-03)
These two papers are great in the way they use Google Earth for geo coding analysis and visual representation. They however require SAS to be licensed with you.
Lex Jansen ‘s site is generally considered the de facto site to search for analytics especially related to SAS.
Here is an interesting concept of a data browser called Strata by a company called Kirix ( http://www.kirix.com/ ). It promises to connect your online , offfline data and help you perform analytics on it. It has a 30 days trial version . I am currently evaluating and will keep you posted.
This is one more example of analytics moving online ,from packaged software .
The Ohri Framework tries to create an economic alternative to proprietary data mining softwares by giving more value to the customer and utilizing open source statistical package R , with the GUI Rattle , hosted on a cloud computing environment.
It is based on the following assumptions-
1) R is relatively inefficient in processing bigger file sizes on same desktop configuration as other softwares like SAS.
2) R has a steep learning curve , hence the need for the GUI Rattle .
3) The enhanced need for computing resources for R is best solved using a cloud computing on demand processing environment. This enables R to scale up to whatever processing power it needs. Mainstream data mining softwares charge by CPU count for servers and are much more expensive due to software costs alone.

Heres something I am trying right now with WordPress and Clouds.(Provider –www.rightscale.com)
I will then try making R accessible from a web interface.
