Flexible database querying based on ordered lattice theory extension

Abstract EN

This research reports on the synthesis of flexible database querying approach based on ordered lattice theory extension to deal with imprecise and structured data.

This approach allows us to construct a multi-attributes type abstraction hierarchy structure for the case of decomposition according several attributes.

This structure is defined from an ordered lattice theory extension.

Our approach consists of two steps : the first step consists in data organization and the second at seeking, to interrogate them, relevant data sources for a given query.

The contributions of this approach are a) the interdependence of the query research criteria, b) the research of the relevant data sources for a given query, and d) the scheduling of the results.
