What type of attributes do all distance based data mining techniques expect?

What is record data?
Data that consists of a collection of records, each of which consists of a fixed set of attributes.
What is a data matrix?
If data objects have the same fixed set of numeric attributes, then the data objects can be thought of as points in a multi-dimensional space, where each dimension represents a distinct attribute. Such data can be represented by an m by n matrix, where there are m rows, one for each object, and n columns, one for each attribute.
Describe how document data is represented in data mining.
Each document becomes a ‘term’ vector (row). Each term is a component (attribute) of the vector The value of each component is the number of times the corresponding term occurs in the document
