Usability issues in knowledge representation systems
Deborah L. McGuinness, Peter F. Patel‐Schneider · 1998
The amount of use a knowledge representation system re-ceives depends on more than just the theoretical suitability of the system. Some critical determiners of usage have to do with issues related to the representation formalism of the sys-tem, some have to do with non-representational issues of the system itself, and some might be most appropriately labeled public relations. We rely on over eight years of industrial ap-plication experiences using a particular family of knowledge representation systems based on description logics to iden-tify and describe usability issues that were mandatory for our application successes.
