Ontological Learning Assistant for Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

In this paper we propose a concept of Ontological Learning Assistant (OLA)-an ontology-based KDD¹ Support Environment (KDDSE) platform for carrying out knowledge discovery. The concept is based on the critical analysis of our state-of-the-art study in intelligent KDD support utilizing ontologies. We emphasize the fundamental role of knowledge transfer and domain and technology experts cooperation. OLA´s main goal is to provide means of their mutual understanding and leverage the domain and technology knowledge by the use of ontologies.
