A generic framework for description logics with uncertainty
Volker Haarslev, Hsueh-Ieng Pai, Nematollaah Shiri · 2005
Abstract. We propose an extension to Description Logics (DLs) with uncertainty which unifies and/or generalizes a number of existing frameworks for DLs with uncertainty. To this end, we first give a classification of these frameworks and identify the essential features as well as properties of the various combination functions allowed in the underlying uncertainty formalisms they model. This also allows us express the semantics of the DL elements in a flexible manner. We illustrate how various DLs with uncertainty can be expressed in our generic framework. 1
