This paper describes a research of an ontological approach for leveraging the semantic content of ontologies to improve knowledge discovery in databases. We analyze how ontologies and knowledge discovery process may interoperate and present our efforts to bridge the two fields, knowledge discovery in databases and ontology learning for successful database usage projects.engOntologiesKnowledge DiscoveryDatabasesData Miningjournal article2224-3402
