【 摘 要 】

The Uncertainty Reasoning for the World Wide Web Incubator Group (URW3-XG) was chartered as a means to explore and better define the challenges of reasoning with and representing uncertain information in the context of the World Wide Web. The objectives of the URW3-XG were: (1) To identify and describe situations on the scale of the World Wide Web for which uncertainty reasoning would significantly increase the potential for extracting useful information; and (2) To identify methodologies that can be applied to these situations and the fundamentals of a standardized representation that could serve as the basis for information exchange necessary for these method-ologies to be effectively used. This paper describes the activities undertaken by the URW3-XG, the recommendations produced by the group, and next steps required to carry forward the work begun by the group.
