Towards spatial reasoning in fuzzy description logics

Fuzzy Description Logics are logics which allow to deal with structured knowledge affected by vagueness. Although a relatively important amount of work has been carried out in the last years, fuzzy DLs are open to be extended with several features worked out in the fuzzy logic literature. In this work, we extend fuzzy DLs towards supporting fuzzy spatial reasoning and, thus, offer a framework for modeling spatial relations such as ``region a is part of region b, which is connected to region c, a is close to c and b is right over c''
