Abstract

Although recent studies on the Semantic Web have focused on crisp ontologies and knowledge representation, they have paid less attention to imprecise knowledge. However, the results of these studies constitute a Semantic Web that can answer requests almost perfectly with respect to precision. Nevertheless, they ensure low recall. As such, we propose in this research work a new generic approach of fuzzification that which allows a semantic representation of crisp and fuzzy data in a domain ontology. In the framework of our real case study, the obtained illustrate that our approach is highly better than the crisp one in terms of completeness, comprehensiveness, generality, comprehension and shareability.
