  1. Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web I

About this book

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed first three workshops on Uncertainty Reasoning for the Semantic Web (URSW), held at the International Semantic Web Conferences (ISWC) in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

The 22 papers presented are revised and strongly extended versions of selected workshops papers as well as invited contributions from leading experts in the field and closely related areas. The present volume represents the first comprehensive compilation of state-of-the-art research approaches to uncertainty reasoning in the context of the semantic Web, capturing different models of uncertainty and approaches to deductive as well as inductive reasoning with uncertain formal knowledge.
