Abstract
Ensuring the quality of the knowledge base is a critical evaluation activity. This is accomplished through specific verification and validation methods. Knowledge base verification focuses on assessing the logical consistency and logical completeness of the knowledge base. That will be the focus of the next chapter. In contrast, knowledge base validation focuses on assessing the functional completeness and predictive accuracy of the knowledge base. This is the focus of the present chapter.
