Abstract

Formal-ontological frameworks such as mereology and mereotopology are increasingly applied in medical knowledge-based systems. But they are based on classical logic, and therefore, not useful in fuzzy environments. An attempt has been made in the present paper to conceive an approach to fuzzy formal ontology. The result is the core of a fuzzy mereology.
