In recent years, large amounts of data have accumulated that may contain new knowledge that will be useful for solving social problems or for creating new products. How to mine that data for information has become a challenge for people who are not used to or training in analyzing such data. In order to make such types of information accessible for mining to everyone, we have developed TETDM, total environment for text data mining. The system provides a generic environment for text mining that is useful not only for data analysts but also for people who do not usually analyze data.
In this study, three motivational game elements were incorporated into TETDM to facilitate and encourage its use for text mining by many people. Based on the experimental results, it was found that those game elements can encourage users and increase the use of the text data mining system.
