The fuzzy association degree in semantic data models. (English) Zbl 0985.68024

Summary: This paper presents an expression of the semantic proximity. Based on the concept of the semantic proximity, an evaluated method of the fuzzy association degree is given. It is shown that the method is reasonable and effective. Particularly, by means of the fuzzy association degree, we can discover the connection between a plant and some ecological environment which will be helpful to the exploitation of rare plants.
