Flexible Querying in an Intelligent Object-Oriented Database Environment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 7))

Abstract

Many new-generation database applications demand intelligent information management necessitating efficient interactions between database & knowledge bases and the users. In this study we discuss evaluation of imprecise queries in an intelligent object-oriented database environment, WOOD. A flexible query evaluation mechanism, capable of handling different data types including complex and imprecise data and knowledge is presented and key language issues are addressed.

Prof A. Yazici has been currently visiting the Department of EECS, Tulane Univ., New Orleans, LA 70118, USA.
