This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery, DaWaK 2003, held in Prague, Czech Republic in September 2003. The 41 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 130 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on data cubes and queries, multidimensional data models, Web warehousing, change detection, Web mining and association rules, association rules and decision trees, clustering, association rule mining, data analysis and discovery, ontologies and improving data quality, queries and data patterns, improving database query engines, and sampling and vector classification.
