Abstract
The Web is a huge repository of information for large spectrum of decision making and advise. To effectively utilise it, there is a need for knowledge-based techniques. This chapter proposes a novel technique of knowledge representation using a fuzzy eXtensible Markup Language (XML). XML is an efficient tool to represent content; however, it lacks management of uncertainty and vagueness. The proposed technique serves dual advantages such as making the application Web-enabled and imparting benefits of uncertainty and intelligence. This chapter presents the general structure of fuzzy XML rule, DTD model, and the generic architecture of Web-based expert systems using fuzzy XML knowledge base for a variety of applications in different areas. To demonstrate the architecture proposed, an abdomen pain diagnosing system for appendicitis is discussed with sample rules along with a decision tree for the case.
