Formal approach for reengineering fuzzy XML in fuzzy object-oriented databases

Abstract

Since semi-structured documents (e.g., XML) could benefit greatly from database support and more specifically from object-oriented (OO) database management systems, we study the methodology of reengineering XML to object-oriented databases when database migration occurs in this paper. In particular, considering the need of processing the imprecise and uncertain information existing in practical applications, we investigate the problem of migrating fuzzy XML to fuzzy object-oriented databases. To find the object-oriented schema that best describes the existing fuzzy XML schema (DTD), we devise a comprehensive approach centering on a set of mapping rules. Such reengineering practices could not only provide a significant consolidation of the interoperability between fuzzy OO and fuzzy XML modeling techniques, but also develop the practical design methodology for fuzzy OO databases.
