                   Beyond Beyond:
  Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery, and Visualization
               of MetaDated Collections

Over the past several weeks I have posted several queries requesting information relating to Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) and 'neo- conventional' thesauri. While my focus has been on conventional library cataloging formats (i.e. MARC) and conventional subject access inventions (e.g thesauri), my Quest certainly applies to other types of formats and data, most notably MetaData.

Thus, [Thus?], I am interested in learning about any and all efforts that have applied Data Mining and/or conventional/neo-conventional Knowledge Discovery and/or Information Visualization to collections that have been wrapped in MetaData (e.g. TEI, Dublin Core, SGML (?), etc.) At this time I am _Not_ Interested in the projects of the geo-spatial realm [This no doubt will become an area that will need to be explored at another point]

As always, any and all leads, citations, comments, criticisms, critiques or commentary will be most welcome.
