Fuzzy Ontology and Fuzzy-OWL in the KAON Project

In many application domains is necessary to reason with vague information, but, the conceptual formalism supported by a classical ontology is not sufficient for handling it. Thus, we have developed a suited plug-in of the KAON Project in order to introduce fuzziness in an ontology. This extension is based on corresponding fuzzy ontology and Fuzzy-OWL notions.
