[ic] recommendation engine

[interchange-users@interchange.redhat.com (Christopher Snow)]

There is a project on sourceforge that provides product recommendation's in 
real-time aimed at improving up-sell, cross-sell and stickiness.  The 
technology is similar to that used at Amazon for recommending items that may 
be of interest to a user.  

There is lots of information and links on the home page, and some impressive 
results of studies that have been carried out showing how the engine 
increases profitability.

Unfortunately, the engine is currently dependent on Oracle. 

Is this project of interest to interchange users/developers, and is anyone 
interested in helping port it to ANSI SQL and perl?

The project URL is http://sf.net/projects/dblens
