Object-oriented and deductive database models are two different paradigms in database modeling. As has been pointed out by many researchers, [1], [6], [14], each of these data models has its shortcomings when dealing with database/knowledge-base applications. Therefore, it is believed that combining object-oriented concepts with those of deductive database modeling results in a powerful data model especially for knowledge-intensive applications. In these applications, it is important to model and manipulate complex objects and relationships with uncertain properties. This study introduces a fuzzy deductive object-oriented database model for representation and deduction of complex and fuzzy objects. Although various types of uncertainty, such as null, incomplete and fuzzy types are considered, we mainly focus on fuzzy types. Deduction is used to cope with complex relationships and to derive new information. In addition, the implementation of this model using Poplog environment is briefly described.

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...
A logic programming framework for modeling temporal objects Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Sergot, M (1996-10-01) We present a general approach for modeling temporal aspects of objects in a logic programming framework. Change is formulated in the context of a database which stores explicitly a record of all changes that have occurred to objects and thus (implicitly) all states of objects in the database. A snapshot of the database at any given time is an object-oriented database, in the sense that it supports an object-based data model. An object is viewed as a collection of simple atomic formulas, with support for an ...
View maintenance in object-oriented databases Alhajj, R; Polat, Faruk (1996-01-01) In this paper, we present a model that facilitates view maintenance within object-oriented databases. For that purpose, we differentiate between two categories of classes, base classes and brother classes. While the former constitute the actual database, the latter are introduced to hold virtual database, i.e., views derived from base classes. To achieve incremental view update, we introduce a modification list into each base class. A series of algorithms are developed to serve the purpose. Finally it happe...
A complete axiomatization for fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies in fuzzy database relations Yazıcı, Adnan (1996-09-11) In this paper we first introduce a new definition for the conformance of tuples existing in a fuzzy database relation. Then we give the formal definitions of fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies on the basis of the conformance values presented here. Secondly, we list the inference rules after showing that both fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies are consistent, that is, they reduce to those of the classic functional and multivalued dependencies when crisp attributes are involved. Finally,...
Handling complex and uncertain information in the ExIFO and NF2 data models Yazıcı, Adnan; Petry, FE (1999-12-01) Trends in databases leading to complex objects present opportunities for representing imprecision and uncertainty that were difficult to integrate cohesively in simpler database models. In fact, one can begin at the conceptual level with a model that allows uncertainty assumptions and then transform those assumptions into a logical model having the necessary semantic foundations upon which to base a meaningful query language. Here we provide such a constructive approach beginning with the ExIFO model for ex...
