Contextualizing a Knowledge Base by Approximation - A Case Study

  • Conference paper
Beyond Databases, Architectures, and Structures (BDAS 2014)

Abstract

Modular knowledge bases give their users opportunity to store and access knowledge at different levels of generality. In this paper we present how to organize a modular knowledge bases organized into contexts in which a user can express their knowledge in much simplified way, yet without losing its precision. The work is centered around the notion of approximation - i.e. reducing the arity of predicates used. The presentation is based on a case-study conducted with CongloS system within a large-scale national project.
