Linguistic Representation of Imperfect Spatial Information in a Fuzzy Object Oriented Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution a representation of imperfect spatial information is proposed based on linguistic qualifiers within fuzzy set theory and possibility theory. By adopting a Fuzzy Object Oriented Database approach new data types for representing geographic entities characterized by either unsharp boundaries or indeterminate boundaries and relationships are defined. Finally, the evaluation mechanism of vague topological constraints between fuzzy and indeterminate spatial objects is described.

Extending object-oriented databases for fuzzy information modeling
In this paper, based on the possibility distribution and semantic measure of fuzzy data, an extended object-oriented database model to handle imperfect as well as complex object in the real-world is introduced. Some major notions in object-oriented databases such as objects, classes, object-classes, relationships, subclass/superclass and multiple inheritances are extended under fuzzy informatio...
متن کاملA Data Model for Fuzzy Linguistic Databases with Flexible Querying
Information to be stored in databases is often fuzzy. Two important issues in research in this field are the representation of fuzzy information in a database and the provision of flexibility in database querying, especially via including linguistic terms in human-oriented queries and returning results with matching degrees. Fuzzy linguistic logic programming (FLLP), where truth values are ling...
متن کاملManaging fuzziness on conventional object-oriented platforms
During the last few years, many database researchers have aimed their efforts at extending the object-oriented model for dealing with different kinds of imperfect information. Some of these scholars have used the Fuzzy Set Theory to deal with imperfection because it has proved to be useful in problems where imprecision and uncertainty play important roles. This article describes an architecture...
متن کاملA Framework for Modeling Uncertainty in Spatial Databases
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial databases are inherently suited for fuzziness, because of the uncertainty inherent in the assimilation, storage, and representation of spatial data. These objects may also have naturally occurring imprecise boundaries. It is difficult to store and represent these objects while continuing to demonstrate the uncertainty inherent in the objects. Thi...
متن کاملSemantically-Driven Flexible Division in Fuzzy Object Oriented Models
Fuzzy Databases have been a fertile research area that has produced a wide variety of remarkable solutions for the storage and manipulation of imperfect information. Proposals can be found in the three most relevant data models: relational, object-oriented, and object-relational. Query capabilities have been especially studied in the context of the relational data model, while in object models ...
