Abstract

Performing the complex task of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) requires a break-down of the task-complexity to enable the possibility of performing the KDD-task. Since even more techniques will appear in the future that can solve a variety of KDD-problems, a domain expert that wants to analyse his domain should have the means to work with tools that integrate several of these techniques as well as the techniques themselves. In this paper a framework is proposed for a strategy component that is to be used for a KDD-system that can guide users in breaking down the complexity of a typical KDD-task and supports him in selecting and using several MLtechniques. The goals of such a guidance component are reuse of (predefined) taskcomponents in order to decrease development time and to simplify the process of decomposing a KDD-task, task-oriented planning in order to break down complexity of a typical KDD-task and supporting post-processing (evaluation) of KDDprocesses.

Five basic principles underlying the KADS approach are discussed, namely the introduction of partial models as a means to cope with the complexity of the knowledge engineering process and the importance of structure—preserving transformation of models of expertise into design and implementation.

This article outlines the modeling approach in terms of a task-structure, which recursively links a task to alternative methods and to their subtasks, and emphasis is on the notion of modeling domain knowledge using tasks and methods as mediating concepts.
