Knowledge Engineering Window on Europe - Knowledge Foundation and Support Technologies
Abstract
This project brought knowledge and experience of European knowledge engineering methods and techniques to the HPKB program. Originally, this was expected to be done through briefings and training courses, but it quickly became apparent that applying suitable techniques and demonstrating the results was more beneficial to the HPKB program. As a result, AIAI carried out knowledge acquisition for each of the challenge problems and made the results available to the whole HPKB community; implemented methods for representation and reasoning within the Cyc program; and developed a parser and fusion engine in Prolog, which constituted a crucial component of the solution to the Course of Action critiquing challenge problem. AIAI also pursued the original goals of the Knowledge Engineering Window on Europe project by initial development of a library of problem solving methods; by publishing some Web-based newsletters highlighting techniques and methods of interest to the HPKB community; and by transferring technology to those who attended knowledge acquisition sessions by demonstrating practical application of techniques.
