Rough Sets Theory has opened new trends for the development of the Incomplete Information Theory. Inside this one, the notion of reduct is a very significant one, but to obtain a reduct in a decision system is an expensive computing…

The Semantic Web purports to give computeraccessible meaning to the content of the World Wide Web. The rationale behind this project is to create an environment where all this information could be freely exchanged among diverse entities, yet retaining its…

This paper discusses questions about communication of probabilistic knowledge in the light of current theories of agent communication. It will argue that there is a semantic gap between these theories and research areas related to probabilistic knowledge representation and communication,…

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standards and technologies provides the basic…

It is interesting and important to compare, analyze and assess the alternative tools that could be used in the area of Knowledge Representation. In this paper we present a reasearch line associated to this goal: to formally establish the relation…
