چکیده

We present an approach to exible querying by exploiting similarity knowledge hidden in the information base. The knowledge represents associations between the terms used in descriptions of objects. Central to our approach is a method for mining the database for similarity knowledge, representing this knowledge in a fuzzy relation, and utilizing it in softening of the query. The approach has been implemented, and an experiment has been carried out on a real-world bibliographic database. The experiments demonstrated that without much sophistication in the system, we can automatically to derive domain knowledge that corresponds to human intuition, and utilize this knowledge to obtain a considerable increase in the quality of the search system.

Approximate Query Processing for Database Flexible Querying with Aggregates

Database flexible querying is an alternative to the classic one for users. The use of Formal Concepts Analysis (FCA) makes it possible to turn approximate answers that those turned over by a classic DataBase Management System (DBMS). Some applications do not need exact answers. However, database flexible querying can be expensive in response time. This time is more significant when the flexible...

Summary SQL - A Fuzzy Tool For Data Mining

The increasing use of computers for transactions and communication have created mountains of data that contain potentially valuable knowledge. To search for this knowledge we have to develop a new generation of tools, which have the ability of flexible querying and intelligent searching. In this paper we will introduce an extension of a fuzzy query language called SummarySQL which can be used f...

Adding Semantics to Spatial Content - a Land Cover Scenario

For successful implementation of geospatial information sharing platforms, we need solutions for overcoming syntactic and semantic ‘noise’ that may occur while sharing spatial data across communities, enterprises and application domains. For example, querying existing spatial data repositories is commonly based on thematic, spatial and temporal criteria. Semantic heterogeneity problems caused b...

Designing an Ontology for Knowledge Discovery in Iran’s Vaccine

Ontology is a requirement engineering product and the key to knowledge discovery. It includes the terminology to describe a set of facts, assumptions, and relations with which the detailed meanings of vocabularies among communities can be determined. This is a qualitative content analysis research. This study has made use of ontology for the first time to discover the knowledge of vaccine in Ir...

A Fuzzy Ontology-Based Platform for Flexible Querying

Flexible queries have recently received increasing attention to better characterize the data retrieval. In this paper, a new flexible querying approach using ontological knowledge is proposed. This approach presents an FCA based methodology for building ontologies from scratch then interrogating them intelligently through the fusion of conceptual clustering, fuzzy logic, and FCA. The main contr...
