Relational data mining is a data mining technique for relational
databases. Unlike traditional data mining algorithms, which look for
patterns in a single table (propositional patterns),
relational data mining algorithms look for patterns among multiple tables
(relational patterns). For most types of propositional
propatterns, there are corresponding relational patterns. For example,
there are relational classification rules, relational regression trees,
relational association rules, and so on.
The most important theoretical foundation of relational data mining is
inductive logic programming.
