    An Intelligent Fuzzy Object-Oriented Database Framework for Video Database Applications
    (Elsevier, 2009) Ozgur, Nezihe Burcu; Koyuncu, Murat; Yazici, Adnan
    Video database applications call for flexible and powerful modeling and querying facilities, which require an integration or interaction between database and knowledge-based technologies. It is also necessary for many real life video database applications to incorporate uncertainty, which naturally occurs due to the complex and subjective semantic content of video data. In this study, firstly, we introduce a fuzzy conceptual data model to represent the semantic content of video data. For that purpose, UML (unified modeling language) is utilized and extended to represent uncertain information along with video specific properties. Secondly, we present an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database framework for video database applications. The introduced fuzzy conceptual model is used in this framework, which provides modeling of complex and rich semantic content and knowledge of video data including uncertainty. Moreover, it supports various flexible queries including (fuzzy) semantic, temporal and (fuzzy) spatial queries, based on the video data model. We think that the presented conceptual data model and the framework can be used for any video database application. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Fuzzy querying in intelligent information systems
    (2009) Koyuncu,M.
    Many new database applications require intelligent information management to satisfy different users' query demands. One way to convert conventional database systems to intelligent information systems is to enhance them with a rule-based system. On the other hand, fuzziness becomes unavoidable for some applications and therefore both the database and rule- based systems should handle fuzziness existing in data and queries. This study explains how a fuzzy rule-based system integrated to a fuzzy spatial, temporal or multimedia database improves the query capabilities of the database system intelligently. Fuzzy query types that can be supported by the rule-based system to improve querying power are discussed. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
