✦ Synopsis
Entity-relationship ᎐extended entity-relationship models play a crucial role in the conceptual design of relational databases as well as object-oriented databases. Recently, several Ž . approaches have been proposed to enhance object-oriented databases OODBs using fuzzy set theory. In this paper, we introduce a fuzzy extended entity-relationship model to cope with imperfect as well as complex objects in the real world at a conceptual level. In particular, we provide the formal approach to mapping a fuzzy extended entity-relationship model to a fuzzy object-oriented database schema.
