A Review on the Knowledge Representation Models and its Implications

Abstract

Data and Informat ion has seen exponential growth in the past few years which has led to its importance in processing it in the creation of knowledge. Representing knowledge in a required format is the need for the building a knowledgebase (KB) for Expert Systems. In this paper we carried a survey on the knowledge representation models that will help us choose a suitable model for designing and developing a KB. A detailed study is conducted on six models and comparison of the models on some non-functional attributes are carried out to enable knowledge workers to decide on the model selection. Index Terms-Knowledge representation, knowledgebase, intelligent systems, object-relational data modeling.
