Abstract

The Semantic Web must handle applications that face uncertain and imprecise information, including random, fuzzy, missing, anddistorted knowledge. Many researchers have proposed extending OWL and Description Logic to deal with such uncertainty. f-OWL, a fuzzyextension to OWL, can capture imprecise and vague knowledge. The accompanying Fuzzy Reasoning Engine lets f-OWL capture and reason aboutsuch knowledge.
