Abstract

The fuzzy description logics extend the classical description logics to support expressive representation and reasoning for fuzzy knowledge. But the current fuzzy description logics are not be accomplished in expressing comparisons between fuzzy memberships. The paper proposes ${\mathcal{ALC}_{FC}}$, a fuzzy extension of description logic ${\mathcal{ALC}}$ with comparison expressions. ${\mathcal{ALC}_{FC}}$ is able to express the comparisons between fuzzy assertions in ABoxes and define the comparison cut concepts for more complex comparison expressions. It also gives reasoning algorithms for satisfiability of ${\mathcal{ALC}_{FC}}$ concepts w.r.t. empty TBoxes.
