Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

Advances in automated data collection are creating massive databases and a whole new field, Knowledge Discovery Databases (KDD), has emerged to develop new methods of managing and exploiting them. The unique challenges brought about by the storing of massive geographical databases has led to the field of Geographical Knowledge Discovery (GKD). Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery explores the interrogation of large databases using efficient computational methods. Developed out of contributions to the highly-respected Varenius Project in 1999, this collection addresses the special challenges to be found in knowledge discovery and data mining from geographic databases.Miller, Harvey J. is the author of 'Geographic Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery' with ISBN 9780415233699 and ISBN 0415233690.
