Architecture of Data Mining

Data Mining architecture details are given below:

1. Information Repository  - This is one or a set of databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets or other kinds of information repositories.
2. Database or Data Warehouse Server - The database or data warehouse server is responsible for fetching the relevant data, based on the user's data mining request.
3. Knowledge Base - This is the domain knowledge that is used to guide the search or evaluate the interestingness of resulting patterns.
4. Data Mining Engine - This is essential to the data mining system and ideally consists of a set of functional modules for tasks.
5. Pattern Evaluation Module - This component typically employs interestingness measures  and interacts with the data mining modules so as to focus the search toward interesting patterns.
6. User Interface - This module communicates between users and the data mining system, allowing the user to interact with the system by specifying a data mining query or task.
