Data mining is the discovery of knowledge and useful information from the large amounts of data stored in databases. The emerging
data mining tools and systems lead to the demand of a powerful data mining query language. The concepts of such a language
for relational databases are discussed before. With the increasing popularity of object-oriented databases, it is important
to design a data mining query language for such databases. The main objective of this paper is to propose an Object Data Mining
Query Language (ODMQL) for object-oriented databases as an extension to the Object Query Language (OQL) proposed by the Object
Data Management Group (ODMG) as a standard query language for object-oriented databases. The proposed language is implemented
as a feature of an experimental object-oriented database management system that is developed as a testbed for research issues
of object-oriented databases.
