“…Finally, the event bush has given rise to development of a unified grammar of dynamic knowledge (Pshenichny and Mouromtsev 2015), which would bring to implementation in COLLA numerous methods used to model dynamic environments -such as Petri nets (Rogalchuk and Solomin 2015), sequence diagrams, activity diagrams, influence diagrams and many others, already tested in descriptive domains of knowledge including geosciences (Pshenichny 2014). The road to their computer-based application for the purposes of collaborative studies has been paved by the event bush method.…”

Development of knowledge engineering makes it possible to bring an information space relating to an entire domain of knowledge within the field of geoscience into a strict form, which is both computer-tractable and convenient for collaborative research work. Nevertheless, there are issues that seriously hamper this process -the problem of defining key terms, which is often not shared by the colleagueship, and interrelation of concepts developed by different schools within the colleagueship focused on different aspects of this domain. Another issue is the export of results to a wider community unfamiliar with the specificity of local studies. All these issues can be successfully addressed by a novel technique of knowledge engineering, the event bush, brought into the COLLA environment for geoscientific collaborative studies. This paper demonstrates how the said issues can be resolved by the example of one of the most important information domains in the field of seismology, the site effects. Text, graphics, tabular data and a physical model coming from different sources and different contexts are united in one context keeping all the specificity of original understanding and allowing the researchers keep on following their own context and terminology.

“…The experience gained in representation of geoscientific domains can be extended toward political science and history, where the event-bush-based conceptualizations have been already applied (Solomin and Mandrik (2015); Rogalchuk and Solomin 2015).…”

Constructive discussion must lead to a shared understanding. This understanding is commonly expressed as text; however, for the purposes of collaborative research, the tools of knowledge engineering/knowledge representation look more appropriate. The problem with them is that, to the present day, they are developed largely for the tasks that imply fixed relations between things and their properties, termed here as static. However, collaborative research often deals with fields of knowledge that represent changing environments where these relations cannot be considered fixed, and the tools to capture scenarios of evolution (i.e. the dynamic tools of knowledge engineering) are far from that evolved as static ones, mainly due to the lack of strict logical or mathematical foundation for representation of dynamic knowledge. This chapter presents an attempt to formulate a unified grammar to encode the knowledge of changing environments in any field of science.

Two alternative methods of knowledge representation, Petri net and event bush, have been applied to represent the same environments of alternative directed changes. The chapter examines the interrelation between the two methods and considers the ways of their mutual optimization and co-application. It discusses the balance between conceptual thoroughness and formal transparency from one side and readability, representation power, and common-sense clarity from the other. The interrelation and interplay of these two methods may bring fruitful revelations about how to treat dynamic knowledge, what strategy to choose to represent scenarios depending on the task in mind. This is seen as an important contribution to a new field of research, representation of dynamic knowledge, which may have wide application in a variety of fields, from history to technical design.
