Klappentext These are exciting times in the fields of Fuzzy Logic and the Semantic Web! and this book will add to the excitement! as it is the first volume to focus on the growing connections between these two fields. This book is expected to be a valuable aid to anyone considering the application of Fuzzy Logic to the Semantic Web! because it contains a number of detailed accounts of these combined fields! written by leading authors in several countries. The Fuzzy Logic field has been maturing for forty years. These years have witnessed a tremendous growth in the number and variety of applications! with a real-world impact across a wide variety of domains with humanlike behavior and reasoning. And we believe that in the coming years! the Semantic Web will be major field of applications of Fuzzy Logic. This book! the first in the new series Capturing Intelligence! shows the positive role Fuzzy Logic! and more generally Soft Computing! can play in the development of the Semantic Web! filling a gap and facing a new challenge. It covers concepts! tools! techniques and applications exhibiting the usefulness! and the necessity! for using Fuzzy Logic in the Semantic Web. It finally opens the road to new systems with a high Web IQ. Most of today's Web content is suitable for human consumption. The Semantic Web is presented as an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning! better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. For example! within the Semantic Web! computers will understand the meaning of semantic data on a web page by following links to specified ontologies. But while the Semantic Web vision and research attracts attention! as longas it will be used two-valued-based logical methods no progress will be expected in handling ill-structured! uncertain or imprecise information encountered in real world knowledge. Fuzzy Logic and associated concepts and techniques (more generally! Soft Computing)! has certa Zusammenfassung Part of the "Capturing Intelligence" series! this book focuses on the growing connections between Fuzzy Logic and the Semantic Web. It covers concepts! tools! techniques and applications exhibiting the usefulness! and the necessity! for using Fuzzy Logic in the Semantic Web. Inhaltsverzeichnis Dedicated to Prof. Zadeh.
