The Foundation of Fuzzy Rule Interchange in the Semantic Web

RIF (Rule Interchange Format) is a W3C's recommendation and an appropriate intermediary language for crisp (i.e., non fuzzy) rule interchange in the Semantic Web, but it is incapable of representing and interchanging fuzzy rules. Therefore, combining RIF and fuzzy sets, we propose f-RIF (fuzzy RIF), investigate its abstract syntax, concrete syntax and UML profile, and define its semantics, which lays a solid foundation for fuzzy rule interchange among heterogeneous fuzzy rule languages.
