Knowledge representation and reasoning
From International Center for Computational Logic
Knowledge representation and reasoning
The Ars Magna (ca. 1305) of the Majorcan philosopher Ramon Llull is one of the earliest examples of structured knowledge representation and automated reasoning
Knowledge representation and reasoning (KRR) is concerned with the encoding of human knowledge in computer systems such that it can serve as a basis for drawing logical conclusions. By means of logical reasoning, KRR systems derive implicit knowledge from the given information. KRR plays an important role in constructing more intelligent computer systems, but it is also used in applications where large knowledge bases need to be constructed, since reasoning can help to reduce redundancy and to detect errors.
Most modern KRR approaches are based on formal logics, with description logics and rule-based formalisms constituting the most prominent language families. In applied fields, knowledge bases are used to construct ontologies, which relates KRR to other research topics, such as semantic technologies. While KRR is based on a large body of theoretical research, it also includes many applied topics, such as the design and implementation of tools for automated reasoning.
