Abstract

This paper presents a method to extract the consensus knowledge from multiple human experts on a specific problem domain. The method may he useful for the knowledge engineer, interested in building expert systems based on the knowledge from a population of experts, as well as for the epistemologist, interested in understanding the characteristics of the reasoning models used by experts.
