Acquiring Expert Knowledge for theDesign of

چکیده
Conceptual Information Systems unfold the conceptual structure of data stored in relational databases. In the design phase of the system, conceptual hierarchies have to be created which describe diier-ent aspects of the data. In this paper, we describe two principal ways of designing such conceptual hierarchies, data driven design and theory driven design, and discuss advantages and drawbacks. The central part of the paper shows how Attribute Exploration, a knowledge acquisition tool developed by B. Ganter can be applied for narrowing the gap between both approaches.

متن کاملSoftware Creation: Using Specification and Description Language (SDL) for Capturing and Reusing Human Experts' Knowledge in Software Design
Conventional knowledge engineering techniques for acquiring experts’ knowledge can not produce quality knowledge due to improper knowledge documentation and informal knowledge acquisition method. We propose a method for knowledge acquisition based on documentation using Specification and Description Language (SDL). SDL is used to describe both the target system and the design process. The main ...
متن کاملA Methodology for Acquiring Qualitative Knowledge for Probabilistic Graphical Models
We present a practical and general methodology that simplifies the task of acquiring and formulating qualitative knowledge for constructing probabilistic graphical models (PGMs). The methodology efficiently captures and communicates expert knowledge, and has significantly eased the model development process for three real-world problems in the domain of robotics.

Domain or background knowledge is often needed in order to solve difficult problems of learning medical diagnostic rules. Earlier experiments have demonstrated the utility of background knowledge when learning rules for early diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. A particular form of background knowledge comprising typical co-occurrences of several groups of attributes was provided by a medical expe...
