"text": "Data mines enable the processing of data by consuming datasets others have produced, performing calculations, and outputting a new value-added data product that others may consume. In other words, Data Mines are user created packages of definitions. These definitions usually include Sensor Bot, Indicator Bot and Plotter definitions. The Data Mines shipped with Superalgos are packages contributed by users of the software.",

},
{
"style": "Text",
"text": "It is important to undestand that a Data Mine is a package of definitions. When users run a Bot, they do it inside a Task. This task needs to know how to run the bot. In order to find this out, the bot within the task must have a reference to a Process Definition exisiting at a Data Mine. When the bot is launched inside the task, at that moment, it receives all the information regarding the task that is being used to launch the bot, while at the same time it also receives the information regarding the Bot's definition from the Data Mine."
