	Knowledge engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge engineering is also related to mathematical logic and cognitive science as the knowledge is produced by cognitive systems (mainly humans) and is structured by our understanding of how human reasoning or logic works.
		Knowledge engineers acknowledge that there are different types of knowledge, and that the right approach and technique should be used for the knowledge required.
		Knowledge engineers acknowledge that there are different types of experts and expertise, such that methods should be chosen appropriately.

	Knowledge-Based Engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Knowledge-Based Engineering (KBE) is a discipline with roots in computer-aided design (CAD) and knowledge-based systems but has several definitions and roles depending upon the context.
		Knowledge processing is a recent advance in computing.
		Some approaches to knowledge are reductionistic, as well they ought to be given the pragmatic focus of knowledge modeling.

	Knowledge Engineering: CGs, Knowledge Representation
		Knowledge Engineering is the technique applied by knowledge engineers to build intelligent systems: Expert Systems, Knowledge Based Systems, Knowledge based Decision Support Systems, Expert Database Systems, etc. There are two main view to knowledge engineering.
		In this view, the knowledge engineer attempts to model the knowledge and problem solving techniques of the domain expert into the artificial intelligent system.
		The knowledge representation scheme studied is Conceptual Structure (Sowa, 1984), and the Knowledge Modelling techniques studied is the KADS (Schreiber, Wielinga, and Breuker, 1993).

	Knowledge and knowledge engineering
		Knowledge engineering, used mainly with reference to computer science, has been defined by Feigenbaum (1980) as the process of reducing a large body of knowledge to a precise set of facts and rules.
		Knowledge representation consists in the symbolic way the acquired knowledge is expressed and structured in order to be dealt in a meaningful way by the machine.
		The knowledge acquired and represented is activated by a symbols manipulator known as the Inference Engine.

	The Knowledge Engineering Laboratory
		Knowledge engineering is the process used in KEL to acquire and structure information about a subject.
		Tools and techniques from engineering and computer science are needed to integrate the various elements of the knowledge base, so that it can be used in an efficient and effective manner.
		Knowledge engineering is an activity that embraces a set of concepts and methodologies dealing with (i) acquisition of knowledge, (ii) analysis and synthesis of data and information [quantities], (iii) integration and interpretation of knowledge [quantities and qualities], and (iv) application of knowledge (Figure 2).

	AI Guide: Knowledge Engineering (2)
		Knowledge engineering is a general term for the processes involved in building expert systems: planning, knowledge acquisition, system building, system installation, system maintenance.
		The KE uses the data from the knowledge acquisition sessions to build a good model of the expertise that the DE is using to solve problems in the domain.
		However, 'knowledge elicitation workben ches', or 'knowledge engineering environments', are commercially available (e.g KEE, KnAcqTools); their principle use is to simplify the task of converting a protocol into frames, rules, etc., and inserting these structures into an expert system shell as soon as they are formulated.

	Knowledge Management vs Knowledge Engineering. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The terms knowledge management and knowledge engineering seem to be used as interchangeably as the terms data and information used to be.
		A brief examination of the terms management and engineering shows that to manage is to exercise executive, administrative and supervisory direction, where as, to engineer is to lay out, construct, or contrive or plan out, usually with more or less subtle skill and craft.
		The knowledge engineers should also be establishing the processes by which knowledge requests are examined, information assembled, and knowledge returned to the requestor.

	Managing knowledge through Wisdom™ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Having identified the knowledge situation of the organisation, the next step is to evaluate the specific knowledge problems in the organisation, or in one of its departments, processes or activities.
		Having access to knowledge only when its ‘owner’ has time to share it, or chancing to loose it completely if he or she leaves the organisation are problems which threaten the value of an organisation’s knowledge capital.
		Although the knowledge described in the tables is still quite simplified and incomplete, the aim of the exercise is to show the possible representation of knowledge concerning requirement classification using Wisdom™.

		The area of Knowledge Engineering is concerned with the use of logics to represent knowledge, and then reason using the constructed knowledge base.
		It is important to encode knowledge at the most abstract level possible since this allows one to generalize to new situations, yet, one shouldn't lose the ability to represent specific instances.
		The knowledge engineering task begins with knowledge acquisition-the knowledge engineer has to interview the experts in the domain in order to ascertain what is important, and what needs to be represented in the KR.

		The integration of Knowledge Engineering strategies with NLP tools and patterns provides a rational framework for a variety of possible shifts in thought patterns, even for dealing with kinesthetic experience (which many people attempt to logically, verbally explain).

	Knowledge Sharing Papers
		Principal obstacles to all current work in knowledge sharing involve the difficulties of achieving consensus regarding what knowledge representations mean, of enumerating the context features and background knowledge required to ascribe meaning to a particular knowledge representation, and of describing knowledge independent of specific interpreters or inference engines.
		Much current work on knowledge acquisition for intelligent systems concentrates on the use of predefined models of problem-solving methods to define the roles in which domain knowledge is used to solve particular application tasks.
		Knowledge engineers extend this model of problem solving with domain knowledge to define models of relevant application areas.

		In this sense, the Articulator's knowledge representation ontology represents a resource-based theory of organizational processes, which in turn is in line with one of the principal basis for strategic planning and business management (cf.
		However, such intimate knowledge of the setting (and participants) where process redesign is being considered is likely to be among the most influential variables that determine the success or failure of a business process redesign effort.
		Thus, our approach is focusing on codifying the most reusable knowledge across common business process application domains, while relying on the active engagement and participation of the people who perform the process, as well as have a stake in its redesigned outcome, to select among process redesign alternatives which can be identified and further engineered.
