Abstract

Rules have been playing an increasingly important role in the Semantic Web. However, general rule languages are not capable of representing much imprecise and uncertain knowledge in the Semantic Web, nor are if-then rules. Combining if-then rules with OWL DL in the framework of fuzzy sets and possibility distribution, we propose fuzzy Semantic Web if-then Rule Language (f-SW-if-then-RL), and investigate its syntax and semantics. Considering nonmonotonicity, we employ unless rules to extend f-SW-if-then-RL, and f-SW-if-then-unless-RL appears. Two kinds of negation are introduced to express semantics of unless rules. And we extend rule interchange format R2ML to encode nonmonotonic fuzzy rules.
