In this work we propose a new discretization method for quantitative domain
s. We give an overview of the methods in the literature and we introduce a
new one that returns better results. As the need for a discretization metho
d appeared in the definition of a procedure for evaluating the semantics of
linguistic labels defined in a previous paper, we also give in this paper
an overview of this semantics and of its analysis. (C) 1999 John Wiley Br S
