Designing Knowledge and Expert System Engineering

Abstract

This communication consists of two parts. The first one deals with the Representation of knowledge and the second one deals with its processing. Here below, I describe the first part by laying down some hypothesis for basic activities of representation of knowledge. It is an integrated view of how a propositional and inter propositional account of knowledge can be represented considering the proposition as a minimal unit of observation. It is a fragment of methodology related to semantic networks which claims that the information stored in the network, in most cases, is intensional. It is an experimental approach for the representation and the interpretation of knowledge articulated on a finite set of primitive operators (=, ,ω) and based on a finite set of cognitive and language invariants which I postulate as existing primitives of any domain.
