data storage and management

This book was essencial for me to dig deeper into data mining techniqes and methonds. It is a good guidance book for beginners and also for advanced practictioners and researchers. It covers systematically all major themes on data mining and provides additional references for briefly covered topics. My subject area is web mining. I found this book as an overview book. I could get a wide view of the field. I got good hints for my specific field. It is very strictly written book not preferring this or other products as several comercial books of today do. The book is very up to date. I would say it is a current bible of data mining science, though there could be some similar or even better books on the subject in last month but maybe I'm not up to date.

In a nutshell, this book is an ambitious attempt to introduce the reader to the key "concepts and techniques" of Data Mining from the viewpoint of a computer science professional. While perhaps not quite the "master reference that practitioners and researchers have long been seeking", this book clearly has the potential to become the "obvious choice for academic and professional classrooms".
In my opinion, the greatest strength of this book is the coverage of data management topics including OLAP/OLTP, data warehousing, data preprocessing, and data conceptualization.
That said, this book also includes some room for improvement. Specifically, the inconsistent level of clarity and less than perfect structure of the book can make it a somewhat challenging read, even for seasoned "practitioners and researchers" alike. Nevertheless, with some careful editing with respect to accuracy and clarity, further editions of this book would likely be appreciated by those who are interested in the fascinating world of data mining.

This textbook explains about concepts of Data Warehousing , OLAP, and Data Mining as well. The key algorithms and theory is described such Decision Tree Learning, Neural Networks and Sequences Pattern Mining. The example is very easy to understand. Also several approaches of Text Mining, Bio Mining and Spatial Mining is introducted. So the book's content is very well
