Abstract

This paper presents a prototype implementation written using the Visual C++ programming language and interfacing with the commercial ODBMS by Versant. This fuzzy front-end for Versant´s object database has the capability to visually create fuzzy linguistic terms and use them for object attribute values. The database may be queried using fuzzy/crisp predicates over fuzzy/crisp attributes and the capability to reason with fuzzy attribute-valued objects is provided through integration with the FuzzyCLIPS expert system
