First, a short introduction to inductive logic programming and machine learning is presented and then an inductive database mining query language RDM (Relational Database Mining language). RDM integrates concepts from inductive logic programming, constraint logic programming, deductive databases and meta-programming into a flexible environment for relational knowledge discovery in databases. The approach is motivated by the view of data mining as a querying process (see Imielinkski and Mannila, CACM 96). Because the primitives of the presented query language can easily be combined with the Prolog programming language, complex systems and behaviour can be specified declaratively. Integrating a database mining querying language with principles of inductive logic programming has the added benefit that it becomes feasible to search for regularities involving multiple relations in a database. The proposal for an inductive logic programming query language puts inductive logic programming into a new perspective.
