A Rigorous Approach to Knowledge Base Maintenance
نویسنده
چکیده
A knowledge base is maintained by modifying its conceptual model and by using those modifications to specify changes to its implementation. The maintenance problem is to determine which parts of that model should be checked for correctness in response a change in the application. The maintenance problem is not computable for first-order knowledge bases. Two things in the conceptual model are joined by a maintenance link if a modification to one of them means that the other must be checked for correctness, and so possibly modified, if consistency of the model is to be preserved. In a unified conceptual model for first-order knowledge bases the data and knowledge are modelled formally in a uniform way. A characterisation is given of four different kinds of maintenance links in a unified conceptual model. Two of these four kinds of maintenance links can be removed by transforming the conceptual model. In this way the maintenance problem is simplified.

Nowadays, offering extended warranty is considered as a lucrative source of income from the perspective of the after-sale service providers. Meanwhile, the main concern is presence or absence of base warranty and strategies adopted by the manufacturer during this period. Moreover, extended warranty structure must be responsive and customer oriented, which not only control the services cost but ...

متن کاملConstraints for Knowledge Maintenance
Constraints are used to manage the integrity of knowledge. Knowledge-based systems applications are frequently constructed as a knowledge base, or rule base, component coupled with a relational database component. The most expensive of these two components o build and maintain is typically the knowledge base. Constraints, which play a key role in database management, are seldom mentioned in con...
