    • types of experts and expertise, such that methods should be chosen appropriately.
    • ways of representing knowledge, which can aid the acquisition, validation and re-use of knowledge.
    • ways of using knowledge, so that the acquisition process can be guided by the project aims (goal-oriented).
  • Structured methods increase the efficiency of the acquisition process.
  • Knowledge Engineering is the process of eliciting Knowledge for any purpose be it Expert system or AI development

Famous quotes containing the words knowledge, engineering and/or principles:

    Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of the one whose knowledge is perfect, you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 37:16-18.

    One of Job’s “comforters,” of God.

    Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.
    Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
