Abstract

Interest in XML has been growing over the last few years and XML has been the de-facto standard of information representation and exchange over the web. However, the real world is filled with imprecision and uncertainty. Classical databases have been extended to deal with imprecise and uncertain data. In this paper, we investigate how to incorporate fuzzy data into XML. We identify multiple granularity of data fuzziness in XML. Based on possibility distribution theory, we have possibilities associated with elements as well as attribute values of elements in XML. A fuzzy XML data model that addresses all of the fuzziness is developed based on XML Schema.
