Fuzzy resource space model and platform
The resource space model (RSM) is a model for organizing versatile resources in normal forms and providing uniform resource management operations. In applications, we find three important factors that influence the effectiveness of organizing and operating resources: natural semantics of resources, resource providers' beliefs, and resource users' beliefs. The relationship between the three factors influences the effectiveness of resource management operations. This paper proposes a fuzzy resource space model (FRSM), which consists of a fuzzy resource space and a fuzzy operation language expressing the resource providers' beliefs and the resource users' beliefs. By properly dealing with the two kinds of beliefs, the FRSM improves the RSM in effectively managing resources. The proposed model has been implemented in the Knowledge Grid platform VEGA-KG.
