1995 Context-Dependent Interpretations of Linguistic Terms in Fuzzy Relational Databases
abstract
Approaches are proposed to allow fuzzy terms to be interpreted according to the context within which they are used. Such an interpretation is natural and useful. A query-dependent interpretation is proposed to allow a fuzzy term to be interpreted relative to a partial answer of a query. A scaling process is used to transform a pre-defined meaning of a fuzzy term into on appropriate meaning in the given context. Sufficient conditions are given for a nested fuzzy query with RELATIVE quantifiers to be unnested for an efficient evaluation. An attribute-dependent interpretation is proposed to model the applications in which the meaning of a fuzzy term in an attribute must be interpreted with respect to values in other related attributes. Two necessary and sufficient conditions for a tuple to have a unique attribute-dependent interpretation are provided. We describe an interpretation system that allows queries to be processed based on the attribute-dependent interpretation of the data. Two techniques, grouping and shifting, are proposed to improve the implementation.>
