The visual database query language QBE (query by example)
is a classical, declarative query language based on
the relational domain calculus. However, due to insufficient
support of vagueness QBE is not an appropriate query language
for formulating similarity queries required in the
context of multimedia databases. In this work we propose
the query language WS-QBE which combines a schema to
weight query terms as well as concepts from fuzzy logic and
QBE into one language. WS-QBE enables a visual, declarative
formulation of complex similarity queries. The semantics
of WS-QBE is defined by a mapping of WS-QBE queries
onto the similarity domain calculus SDC which is proposed
here, too.
