Can someone explain 'datamining' to me?

Very good point, regards the definition of "datamining". As a computer scientist I know exactly where you are coming from.

However, it seems like in the poker world the term "datamining" now relates to the gathering of the data, not the analysis. If you ask people what iWitness does they will say datamining, and I am sure that is what the original poster wanted. They certainly won't say that PT/PA HUD/Sixth Sense is a data mining app, when in the strict sense of the term they most definitely are.
