Foundations of Fuzzy Logic and Semantic Web Languages
This book is the first to combine coverage of fuzzy logic and Semantic Web languages. It provides in-depth insight into fuzzy Semantic Web languages for non-fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic experts. It also helps researchers of non-Semantic Web languages get a better understanding of the theoretical fundamentals of Semantic Web languages. The first part of the book covers all the theoretical and logical aspects of classical (two-valued) Semantic Web languages. The second part explains how to generalize these languages to cope with fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic

The Semantic Web Paradigm for a Real-Time Agent Control (Part I)
For the Semantic Web point of view, computers must have access to structured collections of information and sets of inference rules that they can use to conduct automated reasoning. Adding logic to the Web, the means to use rules to make inferences, choose courses of action and answer questions, is the actual task for the distributed IT community. The real power of Intelligent Web will be realized when people create many programs that collect Web content from diverse sources, process the information and exchange the results with other programs. The first part of this paper is an introductory of Semantic Web properties, and summarises agent characteristics and their actual importance in digital economy. The second part presents the predictability of a multiagent system used in a learning process for a control problem.Semantic Web, agents, fuzzy knowledge, evolutionary computing
Ontology-based knowledge representation and semantic search information retrieval: case study of the underutilized crops domain
The aim of using semantic technologies in domain knowledge modeling is to introduce the semantic meaning of concepts in knowledge bases, such that they are both human-readable as well as machine-understandable. Due to their powerful knowledge representation formalism and associated inference mechanisms, ontology-based approaches have been increasingly adopted to formally represent domain knowledge. The primary objective of this thesis work has been to use semantic technologies in advancing knowledge-sharing of Underutilized crops as a domain and investigate the integration of underlying ontologies developed in OWL (Web Ontology Language) with augmented SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) rules for added expressiveness.
The work further investigated generating ontologies from existing data sources and proposed the reverse-engineering approach of generating domain specific conceptualization through competency questions posed from possible ontology users and domain experts. For utilization, a semantic search engine (the Onto-CropBase) has been developed to serve as a Web-based access point for the Underutilized crops ontology model. Relevant linked-data in Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS) were added for comprehensiveness in generating federated queries.
While the OWL/SWRL combination offers a highly expressive ontology language for modeling knowledge domains, the combination is found to be lacking supplementary descriptive constructs to model complex real-life scenarios, a necessary requirement for a successful Semantic Web application. To this end, the common logic programming formalisms for extending Description Logic (DL)-based ontologies were explored and the state of the art in SWRL expressiveness extensions determined with a view to extending the SWRL formalism. Subsequently, a novel fuzzy temporal extension to the Semantic Web Rule Language (FT-SWRL), which combines SWRL with fuzzy logic theories based on the valid-time temporal model, has been proposed to allow modeling imprecise temporal expressions in domain ontologies
Fuzzy Range Query in XML
This writing project presents a new approach to implement a fuzzy range query solution for retrieving Extensible Markup Language (XML) data. Ever since XML was introduced, it has become a web standard to describe data on the Internet. The need for performing range query against XML data is growing day by day. Many search service providers are eager to improve their solutions on range query against XML data. The project studies and analyzes the limitations on the current range query solutions. The project also proposes a new solution using fuzzy semantic analysis to quantify XML data so that it can be represented within a range. This is accomplished by applying fuzzy logic algorithm to classify and aggregate XML data based on the semantic closeness. An intuitive web interface is also introduced to aid the user to input fuzzy search criteria. Instead of specifying crisp values in the current solutions, the user can simply drag and drop to indicate fuzzy values. Therefore, it’s more user-friendly and desirable for fuzzy range query
Sentiment classification of customer reviews based on fuzzy logic
Nowadays, e-commerce is growing fast, so product reviews have grown rapidly on the web. The large number of reviews makes it difficult for manufacturers or businesses to automatically classify them into different semantic orientations (positive, negative, and neutral). Most existing method utilize a list of opinion words for sentiment classification. whereas, this paper propose a fuzzy logic model to perform semantic classifications of customers review into the following sub-classes: very weak, weak, moderate, very strong and strong by combinations adjective, adverb and verb to increase holistic the accuracy of lexicon approach. Fuzzy logic, unlike statistical data mining techniques, not only allows using non-numerical values also introduces the notion of linguistic variables. Using linguistic terms and variables will result in a more human oriented querying process
On the similarity relation within fuzzy ontology components
Ontology reuse is an important research issue. Ontology
merging, integration, mapping, alignment and versioning
are some of its subprocesses. A considerable research work has
been conducted on them. One common issue to these subprocesses
is the problem of defining similarity relations among ontologies
components. Crisp ontologies become less suitable in all domains
in which the concepts to be represented have vague, uncertain
and imprecise definitions. Fuzzy ontologies are developed to
cope with these aspects. They are equally concerned with the
problem of ontology reuse. Defining similarity relations within
fuzzy context may be realized basing on the linguistic similarity
among ontologies components or may be deduced from their
intentional definitions. The latter approach needs to be dealt
with differently in crisp and fuzzy ontologies. This is the scope
of this paper.ou
