Real-world information containing subjective opinions and judgments has emerged the need to represent complex and imprecise data in databases. Additionally, the challenge of transferring information between databases whose data storage methods are not compatible has been an important research topic. Extensible Markup Language (XML) has the potential to meet these challenges since it has the ability to represent complex and imprecise data. In this thesis, an XML based fuzzy data representation and querying system is designed and implemented. The resulting system enables fuzzy querying on XML documents by using XQuery, a language used for querying XML documents. In the system, complex and imprecise data are represented using XML combined with the fuzzy representation. In addition to fuzzy querying, the system enables restructuring of XML Schemas by merging of elements of the XML documents. By using this feature of the system, one can generate a new XML Schema and new XML documents from the existing documents according to this new XML Schema. XML data used in the system are retrieved from Internet by Web Services, which can make use of XML̕s capabilities to transfer data and, XML documents are stored in a native XML database management system.

Data integration over horizontally partitioned databases in service-oriented data grids
Sunercan, Hatice Kevser Sönmez; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Alpdemir, Mahmut Nedim; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Information integration over distributed and heterogeneous resources has been challenging in many terms: coping with various kinds of heterogeneity including data model, platform, access interfaces; coping with various forms of data distribution and maintenance policies, scalability, performance, security and trust, reliability and resilience, legal issues etc. It is obvious that each of these dimensions deserves a separate thread of research efforts. One particular challenge among the ones listed above tha...
Fuzzy spatial data cube construction and its use in association rule mining
Işık, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2005)
The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
An automated conversion of temporal databases into XML with fuzziness option
Işıkman, Ömer Özgün; Polat, Faruk; Özyer, Tansel; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
The importance of incorporating time in databases has been well realized by the community and time varying databases have been extensively studied by researchers. The main idea is to model up-to-date changes to data since it became available. Time information is mostly overlaid on the traditional databases, and extensional time dimension helps in inquiring or past data; this all becomes possible only once the idea is realized and favored by commercial database management systems. Unfortunately, one disadvan...
Fuzzy data representation and querying in XML database
Ustunkaya, Ekin; Yazıcı, Adnan; George, Roy (2007-02-01)
Real-world information including subjective opinions and judgments need imprecise data to be modeled for representation and querying in databases. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become a de-facto standard for data modeling and exchange in recent years. Efforts on modeling imprecision and representing such data in XML have not been fully developed. In this paper, an XML based fuzzy data representation and querying system is presented. Complex and imprecise data are represented using a fuzzy extensi...
Semantic data modeling of spatiotemporal database applications
Yazıcı, Adnan; Sun, N (Wiley, 2001-07-01)
Due to the ubiquity of space-related and time-related information, the ability of a database system to deal with both spatial and temporal phenomenon facts in a spatiotemporal applications is highly desired. However, uncertain and fuzzy information in these applications highly increases the complexity of database modeling. In this paper we introduce a semantic data modeling approach for spatiotemporal database applications. We specifically focus on various aspects of spatial and temporal database issues and...
