On domain-specific declarative knowledge representation and database languages
Stefan Decker · 1998
For knowledge acquisition and engineering tasks many logic based representations formalisms are available nowadays. However, most of them do not support the elicitation and representation of domain specific knowledge. On one hand building special systems, which supports these elicitation and representation tasks is a costly and cumbersome process. The direct implementation of inference mechanisms reflecting the semantics available in a specific domain leads to an inflexible system: a small change in the input language results in changes of the whole system.
