ABSTRACT:
The appropriateness measure of label expression is a basal concept in
uncertainty modelling based on label semantics theory for dealing with vague
concepts. In the paper, the concept of disjunctive normal forms is presented.
It is proved that each label expression is semantic equivalent to a disjunctive
normal form. Further, a new method of calculating the appropriateness measures
of label expressions is provided.
