A Description Logic for Vague Knowledge

This work introduces the concept language ALCFM which is an extension of ALC to many-valued logics. ALCFM allows to express vague concepts, e.g. more or less enlarged or very small. To realize this extension to many-valued logics, the classical notions of satisfiability and subsumption had to be modied appropriately. For example, ALCFM-concepts are no longer either satisfiable or unsatisfiable, but they are satisfiable to a certain degree. The main contribution of this paper is a sound and complete method for computing the degree of subsumption between two ALCFM-concepts. / An abridged version of this paper has been published in the Proceedings of the 13th biennial European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI'98).
