Linguistic value

Linguistic value

Linguistic value is a term used in knowledge representation. It is simply knowledge from an expert(s) in a particular field that contains no nominal value, just knowledge. That knowledge is given a nominal value for use as a point of reference.

Example of Linguistic Value

For example, if a shuttle heat shield is deemed of having a linguistic value of a "very low" percentage of damage in re-entry, based upon knowledge from experts in the field, that probability would be given a value of say, 5%. From there on out, if it were to be used in an equation, the variable of percentage of damage will be at 5% if it deemed very low percentage.
