## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** As part of the surveillance program to monitor the occurrence of birth defects in the metropolitan Atlanta area, we developed a record linkage software tool that provides latitude in the choice of linkage parameters, allows for efficient and accurate linkages, and enable

✦ Synopsis
Given two-data databases, record linkage algorithms try to establish which records of these files contain information on the same individual. Standard record linkage algorithms assume that both files are described using the same attributes. In this article, we study the nonstandard case when the attributes are not the same. We apply aggregation operators for extracting relevant information for this purpose. We restrict to the case of numerical databases.

This paper first introduces a new definition for the conformance of tuples existing in a similarity-based fuzzy database relation. Then the formal definitions of fuzzy functional and multivalued dependencies are given on the basis of the conformance values presented here. These dependencies are defi
Although the problem of data integration in relational databases has been extensively studied, little work has addressed this problem in the context of fuzzy relational databases. Data integration is highly complex in fuzzy relational databases, partially because of the involvement of the resemblanc
