RULES AS SIMPLE WAY TO MODEL KNOWLEDGE - Closing the Gap between Promise and Reality

Abstract

Abstract:There is a considerable gap between the potential of rules bases to be a simpler way to formulate high level knowledge and the reality of tiresome and error prone rule bases creation processes. Based on the experience from three rule base creation projects this paper identifies reasons for this gap between promise and reality and proposes steps that can be taken to close it. An architecture for a complete support of rule base development is presented.
