Differentiating between data-mining and text-mining terminology

When a new discipline emerges, it usually takes some time and a great deal of academic discussion before concepts and terms become standardized. Text mining is one such new discipline. In a groundbreaking article, Untangling text data mining, Hearst (1999) tackled the problem of clarifying text-mining concepts and terminology. This article is aimed at building on Hearst's ideas by pointing out some inconsistencies and inaccuracies, and suggesting an improved and extended categorization of data-mining and text-mining approaches.
