Our work is a contribution to the model theory of fuzzy predicate logics. In
this paper we characterize elementary equivalence between models of fuzzy predicate
logic using elementary mappings. Rening the method of diagrams we give a solution
to an open problem of P. Hajek and P. Cintula (Conjectures 1 and 2 of [HaCi06]).
We investigate also the properties of elementary extensions in witnessed and quasiwitnessed
theories, generalizing some results of Section 7 of [HaCi06] and of Section 4
of [CeEs11] to non-exhaustive models.

Description Logics (DLs) are knowledge representation languages built on the basis of classical logic. DLs allow the creation of knowledge bases and provide ways to reason on the contents of these bases. Fuzzy Description Logics (FDLs) are natural extensions of DLs for
dealing with vague concepts, commonly present in real applications. Ha?jek proposed to
deal with FDLs taking as basis t-norm based fuzzy logics with the aim of enriching the
expressive possibilities in FDLs and to capitalize on recent developments in the field of
Mathematical Fuzzy Logic. From this perspective we define a family of description lan-
guages, denoted by
