Abstract
The roles of ontologies in KDD are potentially manifold. We track them through different phases of the KDD process, from data understanding through task setting to mining result interpretation and sharing over the semantic web. The underlying KDD paradigm is association mining tailored to our 4ft-Miner tool. Experience from two different application domains—medicine and sociology—is presented throughout the paper. Envisaged software support for prior knowledge exploitation via customisation of an existing user-oriented KDD tool is also discussed.
