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 extension of XML. The representation forms the basis for a system which enables fuzzy querying on XML documents using XQuery, a XML query language. The system also enables restructuring of XML Schemas through merging of elements of the XML documents. By using this feature of the system, application specific XML Schema and XML documents can be generated from the existing documents.

Fuzzy querying im XML databases Üstünkaya, Ekin; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) 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 s...
HyGraph: a subgraph isomorphism algorithm for efficiently querying big graph databases Asiler, Merve; Yazıcı, Adnan; George, Roy (2022-04-01) The big graph database provides strong modeling capabilities and efficient querying for complex applications. Subgraph isomorphism which finds exact matches of a query graph in the database efficiently, is a challenging problem. Current subgraph isomorphism approaches mostly are based on the pruning strategy proposed by Ullmann. These techniques have two significant drawbacks- first, they are unable to efficiently handle complex queries, and second, their implementations need the large indexes that require ...
Secure logical schema and decomposition algorithm for proactive context dependent attribute based inference control Turan, Ugur; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Kantarcioglu, Murat (2017-09-01) Inference problem has always been an important and challenging topic of data privacy in databases. In relational databases, the traditional solution to this problem was to define views on relational schemas to restrict the subset of attributes and operations available to the users in order to prevent unwanted inferences. This method is a form of decomposition strategy, which mainly concentrates on the granularity of the accessible fields to the users, to prevent sensitive information inference. Nowadays, du...
Using fuzzy Petri nets for static analysis of rule-bases Bostan-Korpeoglu, B; Yazıcı, Adnan (2004-01-01) We use a Fuzzy Petri Net (FPN) structure to represent knowledge and model the behavior in our intelligent object-oriented database environment, which integrates fuzzy, active and deductive rules with database objects. However, the behavior of a system can be unpredictable due to the rules triggering or untriggering each other (non-termination). Intermediate and final database states may also differ according to the order of rule executions (non-confluence). In order to foresee and solve problematic behavior...
Flexible querying in an intelligent object-oriented database environment Koyuncu, M; Yazıcı, Adnan; George, R (2000-10-28) Many new-generation database applications demand intelligent information management necessitating efficient interactions between database gr. knowledge bases and the users. In this study we discuss evaluation of imprecise queries in an intelligent object-oriented database environment, IFOOD. A flexible query evaluation mechanism, capable of handling different data types including complex and imprecise data and knowledge is presented and key language issues are addressed.
