A fuzzy linguistic approach to database summarization

In this paper, a new approach for linguistic database summarization is proposed. It is naturally designed to provide to the user synthetic views of groups of tuples over the database. Summaries are represented as concepts which organized into a hierarchy, defining different levels of granularity to intelligently parse the database and refine user queries.
