Fuzzy logic usage

[dalibor]

I’ve checked out the topic about The Underlay (referenced below)

Underlay, basis for SAFE knowledge graph?

One of the co-founders of Metaweb/Freebase, which was later sold to Google and turned into Google Knowledge Graph, is now starting a new project to create an open knowledge graph, essentially what freebase was supposed to be originally. The project is called the Underlay. The website doesn’t have that much info, but there’s a video/article here Google 2.0: Why MIT scientists are building a new search engine - Big Think They’re seeking partners for the project. SAFE could be a good location to…

and I’ve watched linked video Google 2.0: Why MIT scientists are building a new search engine

I must say I like how The Underlay, as a distributed graph database of public knowledge, is supposed to represent information not saying: Here we are providing you with 100% truths, but instead approaching more Fuzzy logic way, like this:

The Underlay aggregates statements and reported observations, along with citations of who made and who published them. For example, it would not contain the bare assertion that “Sudan’s population was 39M in 2008”, but rather that "Sudan’s population was ‘provisionally’ 39M in 2008, according to the UN’s statistics division in 2011(2), referencing Sudan’s national census, as reported by its Central Bureau of Statistics, and as contested by the Southern People’s Liberation Movement.(3)"
