Abstract

This paper deals with fuzzy quantified queries in a graph database context. We study a particular type of structural quantified query and show how it can be expressed in the language FUDGE that we previously proposed. A processing strategy based on a compilation mechanism that derives regular (nonfuzzy) queries for accessing the relevant data is also described.
