The process of digging through large quantities of raw data stored in → databases to uncover new characteristics, patterns, and correlations using various automatic or semi-automatic statistical/mathematical means.

Etymology (EN): → data; mining, from mine, M.E.,
from O.Fr. mine, probably from a Celtic source.

Etymology (PE): Kânkâvi, literally “digging mine,” from kân “mine,” related to kandan “to dig” (Mid.Pers. kan, qn; O.Pers. ka(n) “to dig;” Av. kan- “to dig;” cf. Skt. khan- “to dig”) + kâvi from kâvidan/kâftan “to split; to dig” (Mid.Pers. kandan “to dig;” cf. Gk. skaptein “to dig;” L. scabere “to scratch, rub”).
