COURSE IN KNOWLEDGE REPRESENTATION AS THE FOUNDATION OF THE NEW INFORMATION STUDIES CURRICULUM.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Knowledge representation underlies all information activities: information organization and retrieval in databases of all kinds (bibliographic, numeric, nonbibliographic, and private databases) and in knowledge based systems, language processing, including automated translation and extraction of data from text, and information presentation (text generation, document organization and writing, graphical representation). The proposed course will deal with various schemas or models of knowledge representation, show their relationships of equivalence and specialization, and show how they apply to these activities. The following schemas or models are discussed: the entry-relationship model discussing its implementation through a relational database or through traditional records, and its relationship to faceted classification; predicate logic; the frame model; case grammar; text grammar; semantic networks; other approaches to syntax. The course will introduce examples, possibly through using Prolog and a frame representation language. Only abstract is given.
