Abstract

One of the most challenging problems in data manipulation in the future is to be able to efficiently handle very large databases but also multiple induced properties or generalizations in that data. Popular examples of useful properties are association rules, and inclusion functional dependencies. Our view of a possible approach for this task is to specify and query i-extended databases, which are databases that in addition to data also contain exceedingly defined generalizations about the data. I-extended database is a database that has similar properties then an inductive database [6] in certain scene and it could be also an alternative to inductive database. I formalize this concept and show how it can be use throughout the whole process of DM due to the closure property of the framework. Suppose that a simple query language can be defined using normal database terminology. I also demonstrate the use of this framework to model typical DM processes. It is then possible to perform various tasks on these descriptions like, e.g., optimizing the selection of interesting properties or comparing two processes. The main aim of implementing i-extended database is to be interacted by a spatial Data Mining query called Knowledge Discovery Query Language (KDQL) described in [21]. The KDQL was demonstrated and introduced as a query in the ODBC_KDD (2) model in [22].
