Multi-Relational Data Mining (MRDM) is the multi-disciplinary
field dealing with knowledge discovery from relational databases consisting
of multiple tables. Mining data which consists of complex/structured objects
also falls within the scope of this field, since the normalized representation
of such objects in a relational database requires multiple tables. The
field aims at integrating results from existing fields such as inductive
logic programming, KDD, machine learning and relational databases; producing
new techniques for mining multi-relational data; and practical applications
of such tecniques.
