Incompleteness in knowledge bases

Published:23 June 1980Publication History

ABSTRACT

The first topic for discussion at the High Level Abstraction Workshop was

What should be modelled?

that is, what aspects of the world (slice of reality / enterprise) must be dealt with in a high level conceptual model. I would like to address this question from the point of view of incomplete knowledge bases. Although my remarks pertain mainly to AI applications, I suspect that any application using an information system of some sort will eventually have to face similar issues.

The knowledge bases required in many applications can be characterized by a lack of complete information about the world of interest.
