Abstract
At the moment ontology-based applications do not provide a solution to handle vague information. Recently, some tentatives have been made to integrate fuzzy set theory in ontology domain. This paper presents an approach to handle the nuances of natural languages (i.e. adjectives, adverbs) in the fuzzy ontologies context. On the one hand, we handle query-processing to evaluate vague information. On the other hand, we manage the knowledge domain extending ontology properties with quality concepts.
