Modeling Soft Conditions with Unequal Importance in Fuzzy Databases based on the Vector p-norm

In this paper a modeling of soft selection conditions with preferences in fuzzy databases is proposed based on the vector p-norm operator. We outline the semantics of the compound query when the selection conditions are ANDed and ORed for increasing values of the parameter p.
