Abstract
Domain knowledge is a valuable resource for improving the quality of the results of data mining methods. In this paper, we present a methodological approach for providing domain knowledge in a declarative manner: We utilize a Prolog knowledge base with facts for the specification of properties of ontological concepts and rules for the derivation of further ad-hoc relations between these concepts. This enhances the documentation, extendability, and standardization of the applied knowledge. Furthermore, the presented approach also provides for potential automatic verification and improved maintenance options with respect to the used domain knowledge.
