Abstract
In traditional database management systems, queries are intended to re trieve data which satisfy crisp criteria. In some cases, this lack of flexibility leads to empty answers. That is one of the reasons why we have been investigating the extension of these systems so that they be come able to support imprecise querying capabilities. In this article, the introduction of imprecise queries in a particular nonrelational s ystem (Information Warehouse) is presented. One of the main interestin g aspects of this work resides in the specific data model for which th e semantics of fuzzy queries firstly has to be defined. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
