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:

    A man can only attain knowledge with the help of those who possess it. This must be understood from the very beginning. One must learn from him who knows.
    George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)

    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)

    It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.
    Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
