Ontology Based Fuzzy Query Execution

Abstract

Database engineering has been progressed up to the Relational database stage. Fuzzy information administration in databases is a complex process in view of adaptable information nature and heterogeneous database frameworks. Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) can just handle fresh information but cannot handle precise data information. Structured Query Language (SQL) is a very powerful tool but can handle data which is crisp and precise in nature. It is not able to fulfill the requirements for information which is indeterminate, uncertain, inapplicable and imprecise and vague in nature. The goal of this work is to use Fuzzy technique in RDBMS. But, Fuzzy Relational Database Management System (FRDB) requires complex data structures, in most cases, are dependent on the platform in which they are implemented. A solution that involves representing an FRDB using an Ontology as an interface has been defined to overcome this problem. A new Fuzzy Query Ontology is proposed in this dissertation with implementation. The implementation layer, which is responsible for parsing and translating user requests into the corresponding DB implementations in transparent, is required to establish communication between the Ontology and the relational databases management system (RDBMS). This ontology defines a framework for storing fuzzy data by defining those using classes, slots, and instances. An Ontology is an explicit and formal specification of a conceptualization. Ontologies provides a shared understanding of a domain which allows interoperability between semantics.
