Data Warehousing and Data Mining in Business Definition

Data warehousing is a subject-oriented, integrated, non-volatile, and time variant collection of data that supports management’s decision making processes (Inmon, 1996). Data mining is the process that uses statistical, mathematical, artificial intelligence and machine-learning techniques to extract and identify useful information and subsequently gain knowledge from large databases or data warehouses (Turban et al., 2007). Both data warehousing and data mining are being applied in a wide range of businesses including retail, finance, manufacturing, transportation and aerospace.
