Database Queries with Fuzzy Linguistic Quantifiers

Using a fuzzy-logic-based calculus of linguistically quantified propositions, a new database querying system is proposed for handling such imprecise queries as "find all records in which most (almost all, much more than 75 percent, etc.) of the important attributes (out of a specified subset) are as desired (equal to five, greater than ten, around seven, much greater than eleven etc.)."
