Abstract

The proper construction of a Knowledge-based System has as a pre-requisite the (in most cases logic-based) formalisation of the problem domain knowledge and inference procedures related to the System. This is a necessary step if one desires to convey scientific accreditation to the results eventually obtained from the System and used for solving problems.
