]> 2012-05-29T09:19:21-04:00 Specification and Generation of Custom-Tailored Knowledge-Acquisition Tools Domain-oriented knowledge-acquisition tools provide efficient support for the design of knowledge-based systems. However, the cost of developing such tools is high, especially when their restricted scope is taken into account. Developers can use metalevel tools to generate domain-oriented knowledge-acquisition tools that are custom tailored for a small group of experts, with considerably less effort than is required for manual tool development. An epistemic obstacle to creating such metatools is the specification model for target knowledge-acquisition tools. The metatool DOTS is based on an abstract-architecture approach to the specification and generation of knowledge-acquisition tools. DOTS is domain and method independent, because it is based on an architectural model of the target knowledge-acquisition tool. techreport July,1993 Specification and Generation of Custom-Tailored Knowledge-Acquisition Tools KSL-93-50 1993 Specification and Generation of Custom-Tailored Knowledge-Acquisition Tools 1993 Year Title NO Process note Number July Month Ksl tr id Knowledge Systems, AI Laboratory Institution Has year Has where published Has title Has publishing details Has identifier Has author Bibtype Henrik Eriksson Author Stanford, CA, USA Address Abstract KSL Technical Report Publication Technical Report
