Knowledge Engineering Principles
Since the mid-1980s, knowledge engineers have developed a number of principles, methods and tools to improve the knowledge acquisition and ordering. Some of the key principles are:
- There are different:
- types of knowledge each requiring its own approach and technique.
- types of experts and expertise, such that methods should be chosen appropriately.
- ways of representing knowledge, which can aid the acquisition, validation and re-use of knowledge.
- ways of using knowledge, so that the acquisition process can be guided by the project aims (goal-oriented).
- Structured methods increase the efficiency of the acquisition process.
- Knowledge Engineering is the process of eliciting Knowledge for any purpose be it Expert system or AI development

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge, engineering and/or principles:
“At no time in history ... have the people who are not fit for society had such a glorious opportunity to pretend that society is not fit for them. Knowledge of the slums is at present a passport to society—so much the parlor philanthropists have achieved—and all they have to do is to prove that they know their subject. It is an odd qualification to have pitched on; but gentlemen and ladies are always credulous, especially if you tell them that they are not doing their duty.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Struggle is the father of all things.... It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.”
—Adolf Hitler (1889–1945)
