Towards a general fuzzy ontology and its construction
Huamao Gu, Hexin Lv, Ji Qiang Gao, Jin-Qin Shi · 2007
Most of the current fuzzy ontologies are too domainspecific and don't support reasoning on fuzzy descriptions.By investigating the uncertainty information in the real world, we discover three widely existing general fuzzy relations.Based on such investigation and motivated by the desire to support reasoning and guide fuzzy ontology construction, we propose a reasoning-enabled general fuzzy ontology including these general fuzzy relations.To support such ontology in theory, we introduce a fuzzy description logic ef-SHIN, and define its syntax and semantics.Besides, a reference process for guiding the construction of fuzzy concept base relations in fuzzy ontology is also presented.
