Hello,
I've found this in Compare Suite's discussion forum and I think that it's a good viewpoint on data mining in use.

Post subject: finding "hidden meaning"
I'm using this for finding hidden meaning of the text. It's amazing what facts can be found by just comparing two articles.
I've started with news from on-line sources, but it seems to be enthralling to know a little more that others. So I'm now doing the same kind of analysis for all documents I can, including files that my co-workers send to me.
So here is what my best trick is:
1) Get some tool that allows to do "by keywords" analysis. I'm using Compare Suite but I'm sure that are a lot of others - google will help to find.
2) Have two documents you want to analyze deeply.
3) Pay attention to words are in both files and words that are only in one of those files.
4) Pay attention to mostly used words and some one-time words.
Get some secret facts out of the files!
Another tip: it's useful when data mining tool can do some job for you. There is a feature in Compare Suite that I'm greatly passionate about. There are a "my interests" tag in it's options where you can specify some keywords that you are really interest in.
Hope, this was useful for all those who use Compare Suite.
