Abstract
This paper describes the work performed in the ESPRIT Basic Research Action DRUMS, on the elicitation and use of finite sets of linguistic espressions of uncertainty within modular expert systems. Such finite sets of linguistic terms, together with their connective operators define multiple-valued local logics associated to different modules implementing different subtasks of the expert system. Taking this into account, our aim was twofold: first, to provide a general logical framework in order to be able to work simultaneously with several local multiple-valued logics, and second, to develop a software tool to help in the process of the elicitation of the linguistic expressions and of the connective operators within these local logics.
