FiRE: A Fuzzy Reasoning Engine for Imprecise Knowledge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imprecise and vague information is part of our lives. Concepts like “tall”, “clever”, “fat” and others are imprecise since they can be used with slightly different meaning. Hence, we might use the concept tall to say that Paul is tall and Frank is tall. In this case someone could consider that Paul and Frank have the same height, fact that is not necessarily true. Similar problems occur in many areas such as Semantic Web, multimedia processing, medical informatics, databases and many more. In this paper FiRE -a Fuzzy Reasoning Enginebased on the fuzzy extension of DL language SHIN is presented. Contrary to the existing reasoners, FiRE can deal with imprecise information providing useful inference services.

The Building Information Model (BIM) has become a key tool to achieve communication during the whole building life-cycle. Open standards, such as the Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), have contributed to expand its adoption, but they have limited capabilities for cross-domain information integration and query. To address these challenges, the Linked Building Data initiative promotes the use of...
متن کاملA Meta-Ontology Approach for Representing and Processing Imprecise Knowledge in Ontologies
Ontologies have been employed in several applications regarding knowledge representation, aiming to represent data semantics and support reasoning tasks. However, traditional ontologies are less suitable to represent some domains that require the representation of vague or imprecise information, which often occurs in human language. In order to handle such restriction, it is necessary to extend...
