Abstract
The SODAS project, funded by EC, has developed a software for extending statistical data analysis methods to more complex objects. Objects processed by these methods are complex in the sense that they represent groups of individuals, featuring variation among each group of individuals. Within the context of the SODAS project, the complex objects are called symbolic objects. In this paper, we present a part of the SODAS software, which enables the user to acquire datasets of symbolic objects, by extracting information from relational databases.
