Abstract

With the increasing creation of fuzzy ontology on the Semantic Web and other application domains, how to effectively store and manage fuzzy ontology is becoming a more pertinent issue. In this paper, we make use of the advantage of fuzzy relational database as an efficient solution to store fuzzy ontology. We present a set of storage rules according to the characteristics of structure and instances of fuzzy ontology, respectively. Considering our proposed fuzzy ontology storage approach can be seen as a schema transformation, we evaluate the correctness of the fuzzy ontology storage procedure based on the relative information capacities. We show that the fuzzy ontology storage procedure is semantic preserving transformation.
