SyQL: an object oriented, fuzzy, temporal query language for repositories of software artifacts

ABSTRACT

Data mining on software products and process metrics is hard. The relations between them are different and may vary. We present a data manipulation language called System Query Language, which partially overcomes the problems of other similar languages and allows the user to retrieve the needed information.
