PROJECT:

Implement Flexible Query Answering System (FQAS) for the music dataset stored at [http://www.cs.uncc.edu/~ras/MusicDataSet.xlsx]. If you prefer to work with a smaller dataset, you can reduce your table by taking any subset of 10 attributes.
Follow Muslea's algorithm. Queries submitted to your FQAS have to be constructed from minimum 5 atomic terms.
