The present invention extends to methods, systems, devices, and computer program products that advantageously provide for indexing composite keys (i.e., keys for space-filling curve) of multidimensional data storages into the form of an affixation tree or trie. More specifically, example embodiments provide for the organization or indexing of records of multidimensional data into instances (or partitions) of a 'cascade' data structure augmented by a key affixation&#x2014;i.e., a predetermined series or string of bits or bytes that appear before, after, and/or within a designated bit stream or composite key.

Cascaded indexing of multidimensional data

A framework is provided that enables data mining algorithms to be plugged into it without any change to algorithm software implementations, while still providing all the standard data mining tasks. It may be implemented by the data source provider. It also then allows for the complete separation of data storage and algorithms. When the user initiates a mining session and picks an algorithm for build task or a model for an apply or test task, the framework may become responsible for preparing a set of 'prompts' to the user asking him to provide some expression which is specific to the particular kind of data the user is working with.
