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:
“The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.”
—James Thurber (18941961)
“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)
“I am not one of those who have the least anxiety about the triumph of the principles I have stood for. I have seen fools resist Providence before, and I have seen their destruction, as will come upon these again, utter destruction and contempt. That we shall prevail is as sure as that God reigns.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
