When researchers want to repeat, improve or refute prior conclusions, it is useful to have
a
complete and operational description of prior experiments.
If those descriptions are overly long or complex, then sharing their details may not be informative.

OURMINE is a scripting environment for the development and
deployment of data mining experiments. 
Using OURMINE,
data mining novices can specify and execute intricate experiments,  
while researchers can publish their complete experimental rig alongside their conclusions.

This is achievable because of OURMINE’s succinctness. For 
example, this thesis presents three case studies documented in the OURMINE syntax. 
Thus, the brevity and simplicity of OURMINE recommends it as a better tool for 
documenting, executing, and sharing data mining experiments.
