All About Fuzzy Description Logics and Applications

In Reasoning Web, 11th International Summer School 2015.


Abstract:
The aim of this talk is to present a detailed, self-contained and comprehensive account of the state of the art in representing and reasoning with structured fuzzy knowledge. Fuzzy knowledge comes into play whenever one has to deal with concepts for which membership is a matter of degree (e.g., the degree of illness is a function of, among others, the body temperature). Specifically, we address the case of the fuzzy variants of conceptual languages of the OWL 2 family.
