Abstract

Current proposals for languages to encode terminological knowledge in intelligent systems support logical reasoning for answering user queries about objects and classes. An application of these languages on the World Wide Web, however, is hampered by the limitations of logical reasoning in terms ofefficiency and flexibility. In this paper we describe, how techniques from approximate reasoning can be used to overcome these problems. We discuss terminological knowledge and approximate reasoning in general and show the benefits ofapproximate reasoning using the example ofbuilding and maintaining semantic catalogues that can be used to query resource locations based on object classes.
