Computed Answer from Uncertain Knowledge: A Model for Handling Uncertain Information

keywords: Uncertainty modelling, knowledge-based systems, fuzzy sets
In this work we present a model for handling uncertain information. The concept of fuzzy knowledge-base is defined as a quadruple of background knowledge. Specifically, the latter is defined by the proximity of predicates and terms; a deduction mechanism: a fuzzy Datalog program; a connecting algorithm, which connects the background knowledge with the program, and a decoding set of the program which helps us determine the uncertainty level of the results. We also suggest a possible evaluation strategy.
