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:
“Woman was originally the inventor, the manufacturer, the provider. She has allowed one office after another gradually to slip from her hand, until she retains, with loose grasp, only the so-called housekeeping.... Having thus given up one by one the occupations which required knowledge of materials and processes, and skill in using them ... she rightly feels that what’s left is mere deadening drudgery.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“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)
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
