An Improved Association Rule Mining Technique for Xml Data Using Xquery and Apriori Algorithm

The usage of XML data in the World Wide Web and elsewhere as a standard for the exchange of data and to represent semi structured data tends to develop the various tools and techniques to perform various data mining operations on XML documents and XML repositories. In recent years, several encouraging methods have been identified and developed for mining XML data. In this paper, we present an improved framework for mining association rules from XML data using XQUERY and . NET based implementation of Apriori algorithm.
