Uncertainty and RuleML Rulebases: A Preliminary Report

  • Conference paper
Rules and Rule Markup Languages for the Semantic Web (RuleML 2005)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3791))

Abstract

Uncertainty, like imprecision and vagueness, has gained considerable attention the last decade. To this extend we present a preliminary report on extending the Rule Markup Language (RuleML) with fuzzy set theory, in order to be able to represent and handle vague knowledge. We also provide semantics for the case of fuzzy FOL RuleML.
