Abstract
An XML based environment for Knowledge Discovery in Databases is presented. The aim is to develop an environment in which several kinds of knowledge extraction operations can be combined, in order to describe and solve complex knowledge extraction problems.
Knowledge extraction problems and their results are specified by means of XML documents, and the environment allows the user to follow the extraction process in an interactive way.
The expressiveness and the flexibility of the environment is illustrated by presenting an example where clustering and classification are combined. The open architecture of the environment makes it easy to extend it in order to support the entire KDD process.
