Advanced Data Mining and Integration Research for Europe ADMIRE White Paper: Motivation, Strategy, Overview and Impact Version 0.8 (draft)

The rapidly growing wealth, complexity and diversity of data open many new opportunities in business, research, design, policy formulation and decision making. These opportunities will not be explored unless it advances the state of the art in integrating and analysing data. The European project Advanced Data Mining and Integration Research for Europe (ADMIRE) is pioneering architectures and models that will deliver a coherent, extensible and flexible framework to make the best use of a wide range of distributed data resources. The new architecture will improve the accessibility and exploitation of data for domain experts and provide a workbench for data mining and integration experts, who will, in turn, improve their productivity and the rate of deployment of new methods and applications.
