Abstract

In this article, we represent the structure of a fuzzy data warehouse. The elements of classification to build the fuzzy data warehouse are presented through the three following tasks: identification of the target-attribute, identification of linguistic terms and definition of membership functions. From these tasks, we present an approach of a fuzzy data warehouse modelling. This allows us to integrate fuzzy logic without affecting the data warehouse base.
