In this volume, first we formulate a framework of fuzzy types to represent both partial truth and uncertainty about concept and relation types in conceptual graphs. Like fuzzy attribute values, fuzzy types also form a lattice laying a common ground for lattice-based computation of fuzzy granules. Second, for automated reasoning with fuzzy conceptual graphs, we develop foundations of order-sorted fuzzy set logic programming, extending the theory of annotated logic programs of Kifer and Subrahmanian (1992). Third, we show some recent applications of fuzzy conceptual graphs to modelling and computing with generally quantified statements, approximate knowledge retrieval, and natural language query understanding.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Asian Digital Libraries, ICADL 2007, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, in December 2007.

The 41 revised full papers, 15 revised short papers, and extended abstracts of 10 poster papers presented together with 3 keynote and 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 154 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on usability and evaluation, digital archives, information retrieval techniques, multilingual techniques, information seeking and use, european dls, multimedia digital libraries, digital library 2.0, information mining, user interfaces, digital libraries and education, information organization, and posters.
