Abstract

We present FleSe, a tool for performing fuzzy and non-fuzzy queries to regular databases. The existing tools for querying databases have a syntax too complicate for normal users. What we present is a tool with a user-friendly interface that allows to perform any query that the underlying framework can solve. The framework is fully adaptable and configurable, so that introducing new knowledge and linking it to the information stored in databases can be done easily. We expect this work contributes to the development of more human-oriented fuzzy search engines.
