Abstract

MQL is a system supporting the process of Knowledge Discovery. The central step of knowledge discovery, i.e. the application and combination of data mining steps, is expressed via queries written in an algebraic query language. The query processing engine exploits an XML based representation of queries and data mining models to favor the interoperability of different data mining tools and the expandibility of the system.
