Abstract: The rapid growth of available data and the widespread use of database have created an immense need for data mining. It allows user to analyse data from many different dimensions, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified for finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational database to make processes more efficient, effective, predictable, and profitable. It is used to make critical business decisions include retail, telecommunication, sales and marketing, healthcare, insurance, finance, manufacturing and various other. This article discuss about data mining meaning, need for data mining, its major elements, advantages, various types of data used, and some data mining applications. The relation between data, information and knowledge in knowledge discovery is illustrated. Data mining finds applications in different areas like banking, financial, astrology, retail, telecommunication, education, bio-medical, agricultural, social media, spacial, tax governing fields, security and various others. Modern technologies allow storage of large amounts of raw data which invariably contains usable information, by using data mining techniques which can be used to analyse that data and uncover previously unknown rules and associations, hidden knowledge which once acquired and properly interpreted can be used in multitude of ways, such as astronomy, medical imaging, bio-informatics, combinatorial chemistry, remote sensing, and physics.
Keywords: data, data mining, educational data mining, information, knowledge, metadata, spatial data mining.
