Deep Knowledge and Domain Models

An approach to the concept of deep knowledge is outlined. The approach is based on the assumption that the deepness of knowledge results from its explanatory powers. After considering some examples of deep and shallow knowledge and deening deep knowledge and robustness, an approach to the development of quantitative domain models based on deep knowledge is proposed. The proposed approach is based on the Salmonian concept of causal processes and it provides a uniform point of view to knowledge of physical domains and domain modeling.
