  Bulletin Dec/Jan 2000: AM99, Track 1
The focus on knowledge discovery is timely: it is the theme of the November 1999 issue of Communications of the ACM, and the Summer 1999 issue of Library Trends (edited by ASIS members Jian Qin and M. Jay Norton) deals specifically with knowledge discovery in bibliographic databases.
Because terms such as data, information and knowledge are not used consistently, it is important to look beyond the terms and determine what is actually being analyzed and synthesized by the various techniques described briefly in the remainder of this article.
Information should not build up a dead structure: the body of knowledge is in continuous evolution and it is vital, in order to forecast and influence the future, that information should contain at least the seeds of tomorrow's progress and discoveries.

 Knowledge discovery from GIS in 'Natural Resources Targeting'
This activity of knowledge discovery requires a thorough analysis for extraction of implicit knowledge, spatial relations, patterns and nugget effect in spatial datasets.
General process of knowledge discovery is the extraction of spatial association, discrimination, deviations/evolution rules describing temporal changes of a prominent cluster.
Knowledge driven approaches are usually a forward-chaining expert system in which the method of propagation of favourability measure through the inference network may include the Bayesian updating, fuzzy-logic or belief function for computation of posterior values of favourability given evidence(s).

 Knowledge Discovery
Knowledge discovery is not industry biased, though it is more prominent in mid- to large-size companies.
In order to simplify the process of knowledge discovery, also known as data mining, let's look at the fictitious, information-rich company known as Local Grocer that has decided to implement the practice of predictive modeling.
Knowledge discovery worked well in this instance, though the process is equally as effective in industries such as telecommunications, hospitality and retail.

 'Knowledge discovery' could speed creation of new products
They are developing a method to extract knowledge from data, promising to speed up the process of discovery in many areas of research, including work aimed at creating new drugs, fuel additives, catalysts and rubber compounds.
The method, called "discovery informatics," enables researchers to test new theories on the fly and literally see how well their concepts might work in real time via a three-dimensional display, said Venkat Venkatasubramanian, another professor of chemical engineering working to develop the new system.
Discovery informatics depends on a two-part repeating cycle made up of a "forward model" and an "inverse process" and two types of artificial intelligence software: hybrid neural networks and genetic algorithms.

Knowledge Discovery In Databases (KDD) is a process an organization can use to tap into the hidden knowledge contained within the large volume of data an organization collects.
The improvement comes from analyzing and documenting what forms of knowledge are gained given a stated knowledge requirement and implementing each of the phases of KDD - data selection, cleaning, enrichment and data mining.
Shallow knowledge can be easily extracted with query tools and it's estimated that shallow knowledge accounts for 80% of the knowledge in an organization's data.

The workshop is concerned with the interaction between prior knowledge as encoded in ontologies and derived knowledge as obtained by a knowledge discovery process.
Currently, in most KDD projects, prior knowledge is only present implicitly (in the head of the human analyst) or in the form of textual documentation.
Somewhat less traditional is the role of ontologies in incremental approaches to knowledge discovery, in which ontologies and machine learning methods are used in combination to mine, interpret and (re-)organise knowledge.

 Distributed Knowledge Networks
The acquired knowledge, in addition to being of immediate value to the users, would also be used by software agents to hypothesize likely events based on information available and then seek out additional data to support or refute the hypothesis (e.g., in the context of data-driven scientific discovery).
Thus it is desirable to use mobile software agents that transport themselves to the data repositories, or stationary software agents that reside at the repositories, to perform as much analysis as possible where the data are located, and return only the results of analysis in order to conserve network bandwidth.
Design of knowledge representations that lend themselves to incremental update of knowledge structures using only the new data and the design of efficient update algorithms; The algorithm that we have designed for incremental induction of support vector machines provides an example of this approach.
