Management of Diffused Information in Databases Using Similarity Measures

Abstract

The different subjective concept that people have when dealing with similar data makes the transcription of information a problem in many police databases. Concepts such as colour or height are actually fuzzy values, as there are different degrees within each of these values. The collected information is often stored with discrete values, when in reality they are a representation of information that could be called, following concepts used in sciences dealing with information management fuzzy. When transforming fuzzy information into these discrete values, information can be lost or even misrepresented if it is not properly valued and the certainty of the source or the training of the person in charge of managing it is not checked. Within mathematics, the study of fuzzy logic attempts to establish relationships between these values in order to provide a solution to the problem at hand. Similarity relations are perhaps the best measure to be able to properly assess the existing data and help researchers. In this article, three case studies are presented: fuzzy information, partial information and misinformation. Examples of colour processing in databases, the evaluation of number plates with partial data or the detection of anomalies in people’s records will be used for this purpose.
