• Information imperfections
• uncertainty modeling
• fuzzy set theory
• probability theory
• theory of evidence
• multicriteria decision aid

Information imperfection encompasses different terms such as uncertainty, imprecision, inaccuracy or incompleteness, used in the literature to describe any weakness in the quality of available information. Many theories or languages such as probability theory, fuzzy set theory, possibility theory or the theory of evidence, handle these imperfections using different representation formalisms and processing modes. A review of main theories is presented emphasizing their conditions of use, some useful properties and relationships between these theories. These relationships are exploited to build an approach with high-level guidelines to assist the choice of information imperfection representation language in a decision aiding process.
