Towards a Fuzzy Object-Relational Database Model

چکیده
This chapter introduces a fuzzy object-relational database model including fuzzy extensions of the basic object-relational databases constructs, the user-defined data types, and the collection types. The fuzzy extensions of these constructs focus on two main flexible aspects, a way to flexibly compare complex data types and an extension of collection types allowing partial membership of its elements. Collection operators are also adapted to consider flexibly comparable domains for its elements. Such a fuzzy object-relational database model, and its implementation in a fuzzy object-relational database management system, provides an easy and effective way to manage a great amount of complex fuzzy data in object-relational databases for emerging fuzzy applications. As a sample of the proposal advantages, an application for dominant color based image retrieval, which is built on an object-relational database management system implementing the proposed fuzzy database model, is introduced.

Towards the methodology for development of fuzzy relational database applications
In this paper we examine the possibilities to extend the relational data model with the mechanisms that can handle imprecise, uncertain and inconsistent attribute values using fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets. We present a fuzzy relational data model which we use for fuzzy knowledge representation in relational databases that guarantees the model in 3 rd normal form. We also describe the CASE tool fo...
متن کاملA Fuzzy Object Relational Approach to Flexible Real Estate Trade
The object-relational database management systems (ORDBMS) appear due to the common acceptance of the object oriented paradigm and its integration with relational databases, combining the powerful modelling capabilities of the object oriented model and the robustness of relational model. ORDBMSs user defined types allow to create a framework for fuzzy information handling. This paper proposes t...
متن کاملA Literature Overview of Fuzzy Database Modeling
Fuzzy set theory has been extensively applied to extend various data models and resulted in numerous contributions, mainly with respect to the popular relational model or to some related form of it. To satisfy the need of modeling complex objects with imprecision and uncertainty, recently many researches have been concentrated on fuzzy semantic (conceptual) and object-oriented data models. This...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Temporal Object-Relational Database: Model and Implementation
In real world, some data have a specific temporal validity that must be appropiately managed. To deal with this kind of data, several proposals of temporal databases have been introduced. Moreover, time can also be affected by imprecision, vagueness, and/or uncertainty, since human beings manage time using temporal indications and temporal notions, which may also be imprecise. For this reason, ...
