Abstract

The recent success of XML as a standard to represent semi-structured data, and the increasing amount of available XML data pose new challenges to the data mining community. In this paper we present the XMINE operator, a tool developed to extract XML association rules for XML documents. The operator, based on XPath and inspired by the syntax of XQuery, allows us to express complex mining tasks, compactly and intuitively. XMINE can be used to specify indifferently (and simultaneously) mining tasks both on the content and on the structure of the data, since the distinction in XML is slight.
