Abstract

The relevance of a human-centric view for KDubiq in particular or knowledge discovery (KD) in general arises from the comprehensive nature of KD. KD is more than the application of algorithms - it encompasses the whole process of turning data into knowledge: business/application understanding, data understanding, data preparation, modelling, evaluation, and deployment [1]. People play a pivotal role in this process: people create data, data and knowledge are about people, and people are (or some of them should be) the ultimate beneficiaries of the discovered knowledge. As shown in the previous chapters, ubiquity adds more dimensions to KD; this chapter analyzes how these dimensions affect the user perspective of KDubiq systems.
