Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) is the main objective in Data Mining. The two terms are often used synonymously, although some authors define Knowledge Discovery as being carried out at a higher level than Data Mining. 

Data Mining embraces a wealth of methods that are used in parts of the overall process of Knowledge Discovery in Databases. The particular Data Mining methods employed need to be matched to the user s requirements for the overall KDD process. 

Research in Data Mining has been led by the KDD (Knowledge Discovery in Databases) annual conferences, several of which have led to books on the subject (e.g., Fayyad etal., 1996). These conferences have grown in 10 years from being a small workshop to a large independent conference with, in Boston in 2000, nearly 1(X)0 participants. The proceedings of these conferences are still the major outlet for new developments in Data Mining.
