Abstract :
Many problems related to the objects management in an object-oriented database model involve the concept of comparison. To which extent may two objects be the same one? How similar are two objects? These questions have a clear answer in a crisp object-oriented context. But, if we deal with imprecise or imperfect objects, the equality concept becomes fuzzy. Here we present a set of operators useful to compare objects in a fuzzy environment: among them, a generalized resemblance degree between two fuzzy sets of imprecise objects and a generalized resemblance degree to compare complex fuzzy objects
