Well, probably not literally "fuzzy set logic", but one might THINK of the PageRank as yielding a degree of membership in the fuzzy set defined by the query. I personally find this a very useful conceptual model ... not sure if it is a "conceptual graph." I also, FWIW, think of SpamBayes as evaluating the "degree of membership in the fuzzy set of 'spam'", for what it's worth. I vaguely recall (from grad school in the '70s) that Bayes Theorem is isomorphic to some fuzzy set theorem (of Zadeh?) ... > So far so good.

I think of the RDF/OWL semantics as being driven by classical set theory / non-fuzzy logic, but maybe they can be extended to handle fuzziness as neatly as has been done with set theory and logic themselves. Anyway, I'm fascinated by these ideas Didier has been throwing out, and I hope they go somewhere!
