Abstract
Classical Description Logics (DLs) are not suitable to represent vague pieces of information. The attempts to achieve a solution have lead to the birth of fuzzy DLs and rough DLs. In this work, we provide a simple solution to join these two formalisms and define a fuzzy rough DL. We also show how to extend two reasoning algorithms for fuzzy DLs, which are implemented in the fuzzy DL reasoners fuzzyDL and DeLorean.
