Database schema integration is an important discipline for constructing heterogeneous multidatabase systems on one hand. On the other hand, fuzzy information has been introduced into relational databases and studied extensively. However, the issues of integrating local fuzzy relations are rarely addressed. In this chapter, we focus on schema integration of fuzzy multidatabase systems. In particular, we develop a method for identifying the entities in fuzzy multidatabase integration with incompatible keys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
