Abstract

We present a novel approach to representing uncertain information in ontologies based on design patterns. We provide a brief description of our approach, present its use in connection with fuzzy information and probabilistic information, and describe the possibility to model multiple types of uncertainty in a single ontology. We also shortly present an appropriate fuzzy reasoning tool and define a complex ontology architecture for well-founded handling of uncertain information.
