A First Iteration at a Mini-Set of Features for a Knowledge Representation Language.

Abstract

In the last three years, several initial versions of a new class of languages, called knowledge representation languages, have emerged. Rather than presenting new solutions to issues in knowledge representation, this paper selects a mini-set of features that seem necessary to attain the goals of knowledge representation languages. The mini-set selected is definitely not complete, but merely represents the first iteration in trying to define such a mini-set. An example, specifying the meaning of the square root function, is included. Though the example is presented, we are not committed to the syntax presented there; rather, we are committed to finding a more reasonable syntax and user interface for the language. The language has not been implemented, since we plan a second iteration prior to that. (Author)
