A Terminological Approach to Business Domain Modelling

  • Chapter
Database and Expert Systems Applications

Abstract

We describe an application in the business management area developed using an experimental object based representation system relying on the KL-ONE terminological paradigm. For complex applications entailing a large amount of domain knowledge, efficient mechanisms for knowledge storing and retrieval are necessarely to be incorporated in the representation system. A general approach to the problem is proposed.
