Abstract
In this chapter we describe techniques for discovering organization in an expert’s domain knowledge. These techniques are illustrated in the domain of “domestic gas-fired hot water and central heating systems,” which possesses technical properties seen as relevant to larger-scale domains. The informant was not a recognized expert on central heating but a scientist with an interest in the domain.
