Abstract

In recent years, ontology has played a major role in knowledge representation. Ontology languages are based on description logics. Though they are expressive enough, they cannot express and reason with fuzzy and dynamic knowledge on the Semantic Web. To deal with uncertain and dynamic knowledge on the Semantic Web and its applications, a new fuzzy extension of description logics,OWL and Ontology based on Dynamic fuzzy logic called the dynamic Description logics(DFDL), dynamic fuzzy Ontology(DFO) and dynamic fuzzy OWL (DFOWL) are presented. The syntax and semantics of DFDL, DFO and DFOWL are formally defined, and the forms of axioms and assertions are specified. The research indicates the DFOWL provides more expressive power for the Semantic Web, and overcomes the insufficiency of OWL as the ontology language for the Semantic Web.
