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:

    The formation of an oppositional world view is necessary for feminist struggle. This means that the world we have most intimately known, the world in which we feel “safe” ... must be radically changed. Perhaps it is the knowledge that everyone must change, not just those we label enemies or oppressors, that has so far served to check our revolutionary impulses.
    Bell (c. 1955)

    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)

    With our principles we seek to rule our habits with an iron hand, or to justify, honor, scold, or conceal them:Mtwo men with identical principles are likely to be seeking fundamentally different things with them.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
