Peculiarity oriented mining is one of the recent areas of active research. It involves discovery of peculiarity rules by searching relevance among a set of peculiar data. Peculiar data are those which are relatively small in number and are different from the other data. Peculiarity mining can reveal novel and interesting patterns unlike association mining and exception mining, which require large support and hence may not reveal all interesting rules. Heterogeneous databases are databases that have different structures, data types, stored formats, or interpretations for the data. The semantic heterogeneity problem in such databases can be solved by the multilayered approach of storing the data [1]. The existing approach [2] employs peculiarity mining in multidatabase. Data mining can be used to view data at a high level of abstraction and low level data can be transformed into high level data. Viewing data at a high level may be less heterogeneous and can be easily communicated. In this paper framework for peculiarity mining in such kind of heterogeneous databases is proposed. The multilayered approach for mining in heterogeneous databases is combined with the concepts of peculiarity mining to discover peculiarity rules in heterogeneous databases. An attribute-oriented method of evaluating peculiarity factor to discover peculiarity rules is also presented. Hence this approach can be efficient in discovering interesting rules which can be viewed at different levels of abstraction.
