Abstract
The present invention relates to a system, method and computer program product that is a multi-dimensional data mining environment and that operable to apply a series of temporal and relative rules (i.e., STDM0) and is further operable in at least one of the following ways: to incorporate a framework to support temporal abstractions and relative alignments to data (i.e., STDM0); and to derive characteristics within the data (STDM0). The present invention may incorporate data from multiple sources, and potentially multiple centers. The analysis and alignment of the data may involve both temporal dimensions and other dimensions (or relative aspects) of the data. The present invention may further be a data mining environment that is flexible enough to permit relatively open ended queries thereby enabling, for example, the detection of trends, including trends with new dimensions, or trends based on relatively small data sets.
