TL;DR: This work relies on over eight years of industrial application experiences using a particular family of knowledge representation systems based on description logics to identify and describe usability issues that were mandatory for their application successes.

Abstract: The amount of use a knowledge representation system receives depends on more than just the theoretical suitability of the system. Some critical determiners of usage have to do with issues related to the representation formalism of the system, some have to do with non-representational issues of the system itself, and some might be most appropriately labeled public relations. We rely on over eight years of industrial application experiences using a particular family of knowledge representation systems based on description logics to identify and describe usability issues that were mandatory for our application successes.

Controlled English for knowledge representation
Tobias Kuhn
- 06 Nov 2010
TL;DR: The goal of this thesis is to give the research area of CNLs for knowledge representation a shift in perspective: from the present explorative and proof-of-concept-based approaches to a more engineering focused point of view.
Conceptual Modeling for Distributed Ontology Environments

LIVING WITH CLASSIC: When and How to Use a KL-ONE-Like Language
Ronald J. Brachman,Deborah L. McGuinness,Peter F. Patel-Schneider,Lori Alperin Resnick,Alexander Borgida +4 more
- 01 Jan 1991
TL;DR: Classical as mentioned in this paper is a recently developed knowledge representation system that concentrates on the definition of structured concepts, their organization into taxonomies, the creation and manipulation of individual instances of such concepts, and the key inferences of subsumption and classification.

The generic frame protocol
Peter D. Karp,Karen L. Myers,Thomas R. Gruber +2 more
- 20 Aug 1995
TL;DR: The Generic Frame Protocol is an application program interface for accessing knowledge bases stored in frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs) that isolates an application from many of the idiosyncrasies of specific FRS software and enables the development of generic tools that operate on many FRSs.
