Knowledge discovery is a concept of the field of computer science that describes the process of automatically searching large volumes of data for patterns that can be considered knowledge about the data. It is often described as deriving knowledge from the input data. This complex topic can be categorized according to 1) what kind of data is searched; and 2) in what form is the result of the search represented.

The most well-known branch of data mining is knowledge discovery, also known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Just as many other forms of knowledge discovery it creates abstractions of the input data. The knowledge obtained through the process may become additional data that can be used for further usage and discovery.

Another promising application of knowledge discovery is in the area of software modernization which involves understanding existing software artifacts. This process is related to a concept of reverse engineering. Usually the knowledge obtained from existing software is presented in the form of models to which specific queries can be made when necessary. An entity relationship is a frequent format of representing knowledge obtained from existing software. Object Management Group (OMG) developed specification Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) which defines an ontology for the software assets and their relationships for the purpose of performing knowledge discovery of existing code. Knowledge discovery from existing software systems, also known as software mining is closely related to data mining, since existing software artifacts contain enormous business value, key for the evolution of software systems. Instead of mining individual data sets, software mining focuses on metadata, such as database schemas.

A. It comes from hitching their wagon to a book written in the Bronze Age with all the lack of knowledge and guessing that went into explaining the universe as only a primitive society could. Now, having accepted all that garbage as the truth, they are stuck with having to set up defenses against it. Every time science disproves something people used to believe (flat circular earth along with the heavens are only above the earth, the moon as a source of light, the earth being entirely flooded), they are stuck with having to do mental gymnastics to justify those passages so they can continue to believe them, or else they must outright reject the science (like evolution) simply because it not known and not mentioned in their 3000 year old… [cont.]
