A CommonKADS Representation for a Knowledge-based System to Evaluate Eyewitness Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Joseph Bell Centre for Forensic Statistics and Legal Reasoning has been set up to examine the correct presentation, interpretation and evaluation of scientific and forensic evidence through the use of technology. The aim of the Centre is to build computer systems for those operating in the legal system so that they can follow best practice whether investigating a crime or presenting evidence in court. The initial approach to developing computational systems is to build small-scale knowledge-based systems in specific domains. This paper presents a CommonKADS approach to designing a small-scale system to evaluate eyewitness evidence. CommonKADS is a Knowledge Acquisition Design System using computergenerated models to represent how tasks are performed, which agents are involved, their expertise and the communication involved in the process of evaluating eyewitness evidence. The knowledge to be modelled for the application has been drawn from sources such as: the police, the prosecution service, lawyers and psychologists. This system will be piloted and evaluated by the Centre with collaborating institutions for ultimate use by law enforcement agencies and prosecution and defence agents.

An MDA approach to knowledge engineering
This paper proposes an MDA approach to knowledge engineering, centered on the CommonKADS knowledge model. The latter corresponds to the CIM level of MDA whereas PRR, which represents production rules and rulesets, corresponds to the PIM level. The paper explores the mapping between CommonKADS knowledge models and production rules and rulesets based on PRR. Mapping CommonKADS knowledge models in...
متن کاملMapping CommonKADS Knowledge Models into PRR
This paper aims at supporting the knowledge engineering process by proposing an approach to map CommonKADS knowledge models into specifications based on the Production Rule Representation (PRR) language. This approach starts by proposing a metamodel of CommonKADS knowledge models. We define the concept of inference group, required to perform the mapping transformations, and an algorithm that id...
متن کاملAn Owl Ontology for Commonkads Template Knowledge Models
This paper gives an overview of how an OWL ontology has been created to represent template knowledge models defined in CML that are provided by CommonKADS. CommonKADS is a mature knowledge engineering methodology which proposes the use of template knowledge model for knowledge modelling. The aim of developing this ontology is to present the template knowledge model in a knowledge representation...
متن کاملAn Examination of the Causes and Solutions to Eyewitness Error
Eyewitness error is one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions. In fact, the American Psychological Association estimates that one in three eyewitnesses make an erroneous identification. In this review, we look briefly at some of the causes of eyewitness error. We examine what jurors, judges, attorneys, law officers, and experts from various countries know about eyewitness testimony and ...
متن کاملApplying CommonKADS and Semantic Web Technologies to Ontology-Based E-Government Knowledge Systems
Government agencies are the largest owners of knowledge assets such as regulations, documents, forms. To build a knowledge-based system (KBS) for e-government has proved to be an effective way to enhance the efficiency of handling governmental services. However, few efforts are made to address automatic reasoning of knowledge-intensive tasks within e-government processes. For this purpose, we p...
