A Data Model for Fuzzy Linguistic Databases with Flexible Querying
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 linguistic, and hedges can be used as unary connectives in formulae, is introduced to facilitate the representation and reasoning with linguistically-expressed human knowledge. This paper presents a data model based on FLLP called fuzzy linguistic Datalog for fuzzy linguistic databases with flexible querying.

Flexible SQLf query based on fuzzy linguistic summaries
Data is often partially known, vague or ambiguous in many real world applications. To deal with such imprecise information, fuzziness is introduced in the classical model. SQLf is one of the practical language to deal with flexible fuzzy querying in Fuzzy DataBases (FDB). However, with a huge amount of fuzzy data, the necessity to work with synthetic views became a challenge for many DB communi...

In recent years, the extraction of data from XML documents is an important issue for XML research and development. Fuzzy processing techniques have been proposed for flexible querying to Native XML Databases. We propose the fuzzy XQuery processing techniques for Native XML database systems, where the weights of attributes can be described by linguistic terms represented by fuzzy numbers. The pr...
متن کاملRemarks on a Fuzzy Approach to Flexible Database Querying, Its Extension and Relation to Data Mining and Summarization
For an effective and efficient information search of databases, various issues should be solved. A very important one, though still usually neglected by traditional database management systems, is related to a proper representation of user preferences and intentions, and then their representation in querying languages. In many scenarios, they are not clear-cut, and often have their original for...
متن کاملHierarchical Fuzzy Sets to Query Possibilistic Databases
Within the framework of flexible querying of possibilistic databases, based on the fuzzy set theory, this chapter focuses on the case where the vocabulary used both in the querying language and in the data is hierarchically organized, which occurs in systems that use ontologies. We give an overview of previous works concerning two issues: firstly, flexible querying of imprecise data in the rela...
متن کاملAn Overview of Fuzzy Approaches to Flexible Database Querying
In reality, a lot of information is available only in an imperfect form. This might be due to imprecision, vagueness, uncertainty, incompleteness, or ambiguities. Traditional database systems can only adequately cope with perfect data. Among others, fuzzy set theory has been applied to deal with imperfections of data in a more natural way and to enhance the accessibility of databases. In this c...
