Re: JESS: Research on Ontology + Jess

2006-02-09 Thread Robert Kildare
Hello Jason
I am a PhD student in Computing, University of Tasmania, Australia  using 
Jess in a pseudo expert system which relies on the notion that users can
learn to become experts. They construct their own ontology .. with the
aid of software.
There is research into knowledge-base-free expert systems and how to draw 
hierarchic (Richards) and mesh inferences(Suryanto) from them. There is
research on a system for eliminating the knowledge engineer altogether
(MCRDR - Kang). These all come from the stable of the university of New
South Wales in Sydney (Paul Compton I think is the  instigating academic).

I will be happy to fill out your questionnaire.. I can send my last paper 
(more than 2,000 words), but am buried in work at present.

regards
Rob

 Hello All Jess Users,

 There is a school of thought which strongly suggests that creating a
 formal domain ontology is prerequisite for building an expert system.
 I am writing a research paper on the topic, so  I thought that I'd
 take a moment to ask for input from the Jessosphere.

 If you would be willing to:

 *  Answer a very short online survey (no more than 10 questions) about
 ontology and how you use it, and/or
 *  You would like to contribute an anecdote or brief case study (~2000
 words or less),

 please send me a reply so that I can add you to my qualified  
 response list.

 Any research stories, application and implementation stories, or
 practical use cases where you have interacted with the subject of
 ontology are especially valuable, and of course you can mention Jess
 all you want!  I will be happy to cite your contribution and send you
 a copy of the published results.  The survey will be online in about a
 week.

 Thanks in advance for your participation!

Knowledge Systems with a Knowledge Engineer.  God save us all.  In  
the movie Patton when they mentioned battles fought without  
soldiers, Patton was horrified that there could be a battle without  
honor or glory or personal sacrifice.  He said that he hoped that he  
would never live that long.  Well, it's happening now.  I'm glad he's  
not here to see it.  And I hope that I never see a Knowledge System  
without someone to aid in the growth of the system.  2001 (remember  
HAL) and Terminator are just around the corner.

Knowledge Engineer take 2...

I think the word these days is programmer - which we cant really do
without. The MCRDR system is designed for the non-computing expert to
build and edit his/her own rule set without filtering through the brain
of the computing expert who encodes/encoded the rules and who had to have 
these amazing psychological skills of knowledge extraction.

[And I have the feeling that the world might have benefited from a few
less generals, too :)]
