Data Mining
What?
From Webopedia:
A class of database applications that look for hidden patterns in a
group of data that can be used to predict future behavior. The term is
commonly misused to describe software that presents data in new
ways.
True data mining software doesn't just change the presentation,
but actually discovers previously unknown relationships among the
data.
From Wikipedia:
Data mining has been defined as "the nontrivial extraction of implicit,
previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data"
and "the science of extracting useful information from large data sets
or databases".
Data Mining
Why?
The owder !iffraction "ile #!"$ contains
diffraction, crystallographic, bibliographic, and
physical property information on %&&',''' uni(ue
entries. This is the world)s largest collection of
structural and physical property information on
solid states materials.
!ata mining can help scientist discover new
information on how materials work.
Data Mining
How?
The owder !iffraction "ile allows users to
search by *+ different search mechanisms and
then display data using ,, fields.
The fields and display searches can be
combined and sorted - providing almost
limitless data mining combinations.
!ata can be graphed in xy plots or histograms.
.ultiple cards or diffraction patterns can be
displayed simultaneously.
Data Mining
This is the diffraction pattern taken from a specimen of a catalytic
converter. /n this tutorial, this pattern will be extensively analy0ed.
"rom this diffraction pattern you can identify the bulk composition
and (uantitate the results using modern 12ray analysis techni(ues.
3sing data mining of the !"2* database, you can determine solid
solution doping, the temperature of synthesis for the part, and make
reasonable assumptions about the identity and concentration of
low concentration catalysts present in the specimen.
"rom the above data, you can find applicable patents on the /nternet
that align with the data and describe the manufacture of the part.
4verall data mining leads to a reasonable hypothesis for the
fabrication of the component and its exact composition that could be
verified, if re(uired, with further experimentation.
Example

A supported catalyst useful in the present in8ention was prepared as follows;

monolith with a mixed solution of tetramine platinum dichloride and
'arium acetate! to yield an intimate mixture of platinum and 'arium=
