The Knowledge Representation Project

Abstract

This report describes ISI's knowledge representation research, which can be divided into two phases. The initial phase produced the NIKL classifier, a system that provides competent and efficient capability for inference applied to terminological knowledge. The second phase began with a study of how NIKL could be improved, and is now in the process of producing LOOM, a new knowledge representation system with significantly broader inference capabilities. This report describes these two current research efforts and discusses some future plans for ISI's research in knowledge representation. Keywords: Database management system.
