Abstract

Modern and effective methods of knowledge extraction from databases and information systems are required to provide rather linguistic than numerical information. The so-called linguistic summaries of databases by Yager [1], exemplified by Many children like sweet ice cream, and further improvements by George and Srikanth [2] and by Kacprzyk and Yager [3], are discussed in this paper. The use of type-2 fuzzy sets is an original contribution to the domain, since only ordinary fuzzy sets have been originally employed. Elements of type-2 semantics are shown to handle effectively pieces of imprecise information (e.g. fuzzy sets) stored in databases. An application on sample data is provided.
