Extension of relational management systems with data mining capabilities

Abstract

The relational model provides simple methods for data analysis, such as query and reporting tools. Data mining systems also provide data analysis capabilities. However, there is no uniform model which handles the representation and mining of data in such a way as to provide a standardization of inputs, outputs, and processing. In this paper we present a model of a data mining operator and a data mining structure that can be implemented over a relational database management system in the same way that multidimensional structures have been implemented.
