In order to use in a computer system any information that is available in the real world from empirical observation, it is necessary to encode the information in some computer-usable format. For the most basic raw information such as numbers, strings...

Area of artificial intelligence in which formal methods of representation and processing of knowledge—in particular everyday knowledge ( commonsense reasoning), suitable for computer processing—are developed. For example, everyday knowledge...

Knowledge representation is an issue that arises in both cognitive science and artificial intelligence. In cognitive science it is concerned with how people store and process information. In artificial intelligence (AI) the primary aim is to store...

ABSTRACT THIS PAPER LOOKS AT THE EPISTEMOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS of knowledge representations embodied in retrieval languages. It considers questions such as the validity of knowledge representations and their effectiveness for the purposes of retrieval and automation. The knowledge representations it considers are derived...
