Knowledge Acquisition from Multiple Experts: A Case of Transport Planning in Poland

  • Chapter
Expert Systems in Environmental Planning

Abstract

Knowledge acquisition is often regarded as a major bottleneck in expert systems development because the expert system can provide advice only as good as the knowledge it has in its knowledge base. The knowledge acquisition process is difficult and time consuming using technology that is currently available. Research on effective knowledge acquisition from experts, and/or knowledge aggregation among experts, may be more urgent in public sector planning, including environmental planning. The domain of problems in environmental planning is relatively large, difficult to confine to boundaries, and generates frequent conflicts among experts.
