Relational Data Mining

From the reviews:

"The book is a collection of contributions from several authors who worked in the field. It provides quite an extensive overview of different techniques and strategies used in knowledge discovery from multi-relational data, and describes several interesting applications. … the book may stimulate the interest for practical applications of relational data mining and further research in the development of relational data mining techniques." (Marco Botta, Computer Bulletin, Vol. 46 (1), 2003)

"It is very important to describe the intersection for data mining carefully. The presented book Relational Data Mining is doing this. The authors are well known researchers in the field. … The book is recommended warmly to students of computer science and mathematics and practitioners who have to deal with data mining in relational data bases." (W. Gerhardt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1003, 2003)
