Fuzzy Functional Dependencies in Relational Databases

چکیده
The work on this paper is an application of fuzzy set theory in relational databases. The authors introduce a new notion of fuzzy functional dependencies (ffd) in relational databases. It is observed that the existing notions of fuzzy functional dependencies (ffd) have a common drawback. Consequently the need for introducing a new type of fuzzy functional dependencies (ffd) is justified, and explained with an example. Armstrong’s axioms of fuzzy nature are verified.

Comparison of Linguistic Summaries and Fuzzy Functional Dependencies Related to Data Mining
Data mining methods based on fuzzy logic have been developed recently and have become an increasingly important research area. In this chapter, the authors examine possibilities for discovering potentially useful knowledge from relational database by integrating fuzzy functional dependencies and linguistic summaries. Both methods use fuzzy logic tools for data analysis, acquiring, and represent...
متن کاملFuzzy Functional Dependencies —an Overview and a Critical Discussion—
In the context of regular relational databases, functional dependencies have received a lot of attention, since they capture some semantics about the data related to redundancy. Functional dependencies lead to an appropriate design of a database in terms of a set of relations and can make the checking process significantly easier. For about ten years, several proposals to deal with ill-known or...
متن کاملFuzzy Join Dependency in Fuzzy Relational Databases
The join dependency provides the basis for obtaining lossless join decomposition in a classical relational schema. The existence of Join dependency shows that that the tables always represent the correct data after being joined. Since the classical relational databases cannot handle imprecise data, they were extended to fuzzy relational databases so that uncertain, ambiguous, imprecise and part...
متن کاملDynamic Discovery of Fuzzy Functional Dependencies Using Partitions
A functional dependency describes the relationship between attributes in a database relation. It states that the value of an attribute is uniquely determined by the values of some other attributes. It serves as a constraint between the attributes and is being used in the normalization process of relational database design. Therefore the discovery of functional dependencies from databases has be...
متن کاملData Summarization in Relational Databases Through FuzzyDependenciesJ
In this paper we deal with the problem of data summarization through the concept of fuzzy dependency. We introduce a projection operator which leads us to partition a database into two projections with a less amount of information. Thus, we can replace the original relation by those projections. In this process we must guarantee that we can recover the original relation, through the projections...
