Abstract:
A method of developing knowledge bases comprising the steps ofa. conducting a baseline analysis of aspects of developing a knowledge base, by surveying at least one of said aspects, developing results from said surveying, and developing a knowledge base complexity indicator for said surveyed aspect and associated with said results for said aspect, said complexity indicator demonstrating for said aspect an expected level of effort required in developing and operating said knowledge base; said baseline analysis having as an output said results and said complexity indicator associated with said results; and using said output to define a scope of and approach for developing said knowledge base; b. conducting an in-depth analysis having as an input said results from said surveying and having as an output a construction and seeding plan for said knowledge base; c. constructing and seeding said knowledge base in accordance with said construction and seeding plan; d. developing a deployment plan for deployment of said knowledge base; and e. deploying said knowledge base in accordance with said deployment plan.
