Knowledge Discovery and Geographical Databases
نویسنده
چکیده
Geographic data are characterized by huge volumes, lack of standards, multiplicity of data sources, multiscale requirements, and variability in time. These characteristics make geographic information complex and uncertain. At the same time, the important growth of the quantity of data manipulated and the necessity to make rapid decisions imposed the appearance and the great progress of new tools like data warehousing techniques. Data warehouse is usually defined as a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant, and non-volatile collection of data in support of decision-making processes. Several techniques have been coined since the appearance of data warehousing: OLAP (On Line Analytical Processing) and data mining techniques.

Exploiting Background Knowledge in Automated Discovery
Prior work in automated scientific discovery has been successful in finding patterns in data, given that a reasonably small set of mostly relevant features is specified. The work described in this paper places data in the context of large bodies of background knowledge. Specifically, data items are connected to multiple databases of background knowledge represented as inheritance networks. The ...
