Abstract
Astronomy is among those sciences that, with time and technology, has found itself producing more and more data. Now, dealing with so many data is a major problem, and standard query techniques become insufficient. This paper raises the relevance of data mining techniques in such cases, through a complete example of application to real astronomical data. The approach, the implementation and the results are analysed. The stake of such works is to give modern sciences a new way to use data, while keeping concerned with the fact that the majority of users are non-experts in knowledge engineering.
