From conceptual modeling to data mining

Logical Database Design  Conceptual Database Design  Transformations 

A data mining problem, called knowledge incorporation, is proposed as an approach that inverts a method exploited within ASSO, a formal database design methodology. Starting from a graph of logical classes, where each object instance belongs to one and only one class, a formal transformation is determined. This transformation links the graph of logical classes with a graph of conceptual classes, where each object instance may belong to more classes. The knowledge incorporation approach is able to implicitly represent classes of objects explicitly represented at logical level.
