Eclipse BIRT. What is open source software?

Eclipse BIRT

Open source software is computer software that allows its source code to be made publicly available or open for anyone to use for any objective. Thus, any person can view, learn, apply, alter, and circulate the source code without having to worry about violating the normal copyright restrictions of protected or licensed software. With little to no copyright limitations, open source software encourages user-generated content to be developed in a public, collaborative effort. The notion of unrestricted sharing has been adopted by open source software in order to ensure perpetual access to all resulting or derivative creations.

I took mid-sized dataset (428999 rows and 135 columns), exported it into CSV and compressed it to ZIP format, because all native DV formats (QVW by Qlikview, DXP by Spotfire, TWBX by Tableau and XLSX by Excel and PowerPivot) are compressed one way or another. My starting filesize (of ZIPped dataset) was 56 MB.

Here is what I got, see for yourself: One comment is that numbers above are all relative to configuration of hardware used for tests and also depend on other software I ran during tests, because that software also requires RAM, CPU cycles, disk I/O and even on speed of repainting applications windows on screen, especially for Excel.

Too much time is spent manipulating data just to get analysis and visualization tools to read it. Wrangler is designed to accelerate this process: spend less time fighting with your data and more time learning from it.
