A Web-Based Fuzzy Linguistic Tool to Filter Information in a Biomedical Domain

In biomedical sciences is necessary the development of new services capable of satisfying specific information needs. In this paper we present a filtering system that applies semantic Web technologies and fuzzy linguistic modeling techniques in order to provide users valuable information about resources that fit their interests. The main features and elements of the system are enumerated in this paper, and an operational example (which illustrates the overall system performance) is presented. Furthermore, the outcomes of a simple system evaluation are shown.
