Data mining is a business process for exploring large amounts of data to discover meaningful patterns and rules. The proposed methodology focuses one business activities and using a multilayer data mining approach, provides high level of business intelligence for enterprises that utilize ecommerce as their main transactional model. The paper introduces a conversion model as a part of the methodology to serve as a template for wide range of ebusiness models. This conversion model is used to create distinct layers of data mining structures that are required by the methodology.
