Mining Association Rules from XML Data

Visualization of a Synthetic Representation of Association Rules to Assist Expert Validation

“…Furthermore, several tools have been introduced in order to facilitate the task of the expert to extract relevant association rules. We find mainly, the introduction of inductive databases and the associated query languages [17,27,20,6], interactive explorations systems [23,24,12] and visualization tools [38,18,40,4,2,10]. In the following sections, we present in details these different tools.…”

“…To treat this, a query language was proposed: DMQL [17], MINE RULE [27], MSQL [20] and Xmine [6]. Although, the expert does not care about the nature of the information (data or knowledge) when he polls the database, several problems can be encountered.…”

Warehousing complex data from the web

“…Content mining is usually based on text mining techniques. Some authors have also taken interest in association rules extraction from the content of XML documents tags (Braga et al, 2002). Nevertheless, this work took very little into account the hierarchical aspect that exists between tags.…”

Intensional Query Answering to XQuery Expressions

“…Another two works which present a framework to discover association rules in large amounts of XML data are [4,6].…”

“…In [4] the authors introduce a proposal to enrich XQuery with data mining and knowledge discovery capabilities by introducing association rules for native XML documents and a specific operator for describing them. They formalize the syntax and an intuitive semantics for the operator and propose some examples of complex association rules.…”
