An OWL Ontology for Fuzzy OWL 2

In Proceedings of the 18th International Symposium on Methodologies for Intelligent Systems (ISMIS-09).


Abstract:
The need to deal with vague information in Semantic Web languages is rising in importance and, thus, calls for a standard way to represent such information. We may address this issue by either extending current Semantic Web languages to cope with vagueness, or by providing an ontology describing how to represent such information within Semantic Web languages. In this work, we follow the latter approach and propose and discuss an OWL ontology to represent important features of fuzzy OWL 2 statements.
