Abstract

), for flexible information retrieval from deductive databases. It is a fuzzy logic programming language, where similarity is introduced on predicate and constant names and both flexible queries and crisp queries with flexible answers are allowed. Then we introduce our ongoing research directed to involve the notion of context in the query answering process. We start from the observation that similarity is based on the context and we describe how an adaptive and flexible user interface based on the context can be developed. Finally, we outline the relevance of similarity-based search according to context in many application domains, as for web search and multimedia database systems.
