Abstract

The distributed fuzzy ontologies play an important role in semantic web. Most current solutions are proposed respectively on one of these two aspects. To represent distributed fuzzy ontology, we combine fuzzy description logics and E-connections, and present distributed extended fuzzy description logic (\(\mathcal{DEFSHOIN}\)). This novel logical approach couples both fuzzy and distributed features within description logics. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a combined tableau to achieve reasoning within \(\mathcal{DEFSHOIN}\).
