A data import system enables access to data of multiple types from multiple data sources of different formats and provides an interface for importing data into a data analysis system. The interface enables a user to customize the formatting of the data as the data is being imported into a data analysis system. A user may select first user defined options for operating on a first data set received during a data importation process. An intermediate representation of the data set is generated based on the user first defined options. A user may specify second user defined options based on the intermediate representation during the data importation process. The second user defined options are processed to produce a final data representation of the data set to be used for analysis of the data. The intermediate representation may be a data table. The processing of a data set may include merging a first and second data set to produce the final data representation. The second user defined options may enable a user to select a basic operation for merging the data sets or to select a non-basic operation for merging the data sets. The basic operation may combine data sets in response to a user's selection of a first graphical interface control, and the non-basic operation may combine the data sets based on user selection of at least two graphical interface controls from a group of graphical interface controls.

Data import system for data analysis system

Methods and systems are provided that enable text in various sections of data records to be separately catalogued, indexed, or vectorized for analysis in a text visualization and mining system. A text processing system receives a plurality of data records, where each data record has one or a plurality of attribute fields associated with the records. The attributes fields containing textual information are identified. The specific textual content of each attribute field is identified. An index is generated that associates the textual content contained in each attribute field with the attribute field containing the textual content. The index is operable for use in text processing. The plurality of data records may be located in a data table and the textual information may be contained within cells of the data table. In another aspect, a plurality of data records is received, where at least some of the data records contain text terms. A first method is applied to weight text terms of the data records in a first manner to aid in distinguishing records from each other in response to selection of the first method. A second method is applied to weight text terms of the data records in a second manner to aid in distinguishing records from each other in response to selection of the second method. A vector is generated to distinguish each of the data records based on the text terms weighted by either the first or second method.
