knowledge representation
The subfield of artificial intelligence concerned with designing and using
systems for storing knowledge - facts and rules about some subject.
A body of formally represented knowledge is based on a conceptualisation - an
abstract view of the world that we wish to represent. In order to manipulate
this knowledge we must specify how the abstract conceptualisation is represented
as a concrete data structure. An ontology is an explicit specification of a
conceptualisation.
