Data Mining is the process of extracting potentially useful knowledge from raw data. This is usually referred to as the Knowledge discovery process in the context of databases. Recently, Ontologies have come into picture, as being an integral part of knowledge structuring, to create knowledge-intensive systems. An ontology is defined as an explicit formal conceptualization of some domain of interest which helps in the portrayal of concepts and their relationships for that domain. To build any ontology, one needs a domain expert who declares all the domain concepts and the relationships between them for a specialized domain. This paper presents the problem of assessing a given ontology for a particular criterion of an application, by typically determining which of several ontologies would best suit the current application domain. It also focuses on techniques, which incorporate ontology during the data mining process. It further proposes a methodology for building an ontology on the basis of the output of data mining result. The effects of the generated ontology are studied on improving the data mining process.
