]> 2012-02-10T20:49:39-05:00 A Generic Knowledge-base Browser and Editor The GKB Editor is a generic editor and browser of knowledge bases (KBs) and ontologies - generic in the sense that it is portable across several frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs). This generality is possible because the GKB Editor performs all KB access operations using a generis application programming interface to FRSs called the Generic Frame Protocol (GFP). To adapt the GKB Editor to a new FRS, we need only to create a GFP implementation for that FRS - a task that is usually considerably simpler than implementing a complete KB editor. The GKB Editor also contains several relatively advanced features, including three different viewers of KB relationships, incremental browsing of large graphs, KB analysis tools, extensive customizability, complex selection operations, cut-and-paste operations, and both user- and KB-specific profiles. The GKB Editor is in active use in the development of several ontologies and KBs. This paper discusses the design of the GKB Editor from a graphical user interface point of view, and describes the difficulties encountered in achieving true portability across multiple FRSs. inproceedings February,1997 A Generic Knowledge-base Browser and Editor Proceedings of IAAI - 97 1997 A Generic Knowledge-base Browser and Editor 1997 Year Title NO Process note February Month Ksl tr id Has year Has where published Has title Has publishing details Has identifier Has author Proceedings of IAAI - 97 Booktitle Bibtype Suzanne M.
