KR: An Efficient Knowledge Representation System

Abstract

KR is a very efficient semantic network knowledge representation language implemented in Common Lisp. It provides basic mechanisms for knowledge representation which include user-defined inheritance, relations, and the usual repertoire of knowledge manipulation functions. The system is simple and compact and does not include some of the more complex functionality often found in other knowledge representation systems. Because of its simplicity, however, KR is highly optimized and offers good performance. These qualities make it suitable for many applications which require a mixture of good performance and flexible knowledge representation.
