TOWARDS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A GENERALIZED FUZZY RELATIONAL DATABASE MODEL

This paper shows the necessary elements for the effective implementation of the generalized fuzzy relational database model. From the model described in Medina et al. (1994) some criteria for representation and handling of imprecise information are introduced, the most important aspect being the simplicity of the implementation. The paper shows a series of mechanisms to implement imprecise information in a classical RDBMS. Having the information represented in a classical RDBMS data structure and having the implementation of procedural knowledge about such information, we will be able to build a FRDBMS on a host RDBMS.
