ODAMIL: Object-oriented data mining query language

Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) and data mining became very important in processing and analysing data in large databases. The combination of powerful KDD and data mining techniques and sophisticated resources of object-oriented database systems brings even more considerable results. But these emerging tools and techniques require a powerful data mining query language which would serve as an interface between applications and data mining tools. This motivates us to design an object-oriented data mining query language, ODAMIL, for mining different kinds of knowledge from object-oriented databases. We introduce an overview of the ODAMIL language, its syntax and semantics in this paper.
