Is there anyway to use the examples for the "My Media" Microsoft research project? My Media is a "dynamic personalization and recommendation software framework toolkit" ( http://www.mymediaproject.org ), but out of the box it doesn't provide a sample database (only a LINQ-to-SQL .dbml schema), I don't believe it will be easy to re-create by hand.

I was hoping to understand recommendation engines and machine learning with this C#/.Net as a testbed, but without a simple quick start or db it seems impractical. Any suggestions?

(I guess it's time to switch to Java with Apache's Mahout, Weka or something similar?)

+2  A: 

A linq2sql datacontext has a CreateDatabase method that you can call and thus create the schema.
