Thus, it is possible to combine knowledge discovery, data mining and visualization techniques. In fact, various researchers have called for the closer integration of data mining and visual exploration techniques (Kreuseler and Schumann, 2002; Kocherlakota and Healey, 2005). Classification hierarchies can be used to explore the data (Kemp and Tan, 2005); these can be displayed as graphs and other structured organizations (Rodgers, 2004). Classifications are important, and if, in particular, they are visualized, they allow the user to understand the underlying structure of the data and furthermore can be used for filtering and processing.

The script example above may appear somewhat daunting, and much more elaborate scripts are needed for more complex tasks. A far easier approach is to make use of one of the many tools that have been developed to convert data of various kinds into KML files. com) is a simple-to-use third-party extension to the popular geographic information system (GIS) ArcGIS.
