ISO/IEC 13249 defines a number of packages of generic data types common to various kinds of data used in multimedia and application areas, to enable that data to be stored and manipulated in an SQL database.
ISO/IEC 13249-6:2006 introduces the data-mining package, gives the necessary references, defines notations and conventions specific to ISO/IEC 13249-6:2006, defines concepts specific to ISO/IEC 13249-6:2006, and defines data mining user-defined types and their associated routines.
The data-mining user-defined types defined in ISO/IEC 13249-6:2006 are generic to data-mining data handling. They address the need to store, manage and retrieve information based on elements such as data-mining models, data-mining settings, and data-mining test results.
