Abstract

This paper focusses on the application of knowledge representation (KR) formalisms. It presents a method supporting a controlled design of domain models expressing certain aspects of the ‘real world’. This includes guidelines for the suitable formal representation of relevant pieces of domain knowledge and rules to assist their correct integration when building a complete model. Furthermore, some measures for assessing the quality of the resulting model are defined.
