Parallel Knowledge Base Development by Subject Matter Experts

Abstract. This paper presents an experiment of parallel knowledge base development by subject matter experts, performed as part of the DARPA’s Rapid Knowledge Formation Program. It introduces the Disciple-RKF development environment used in this experiment and proposes design guidelines for systems that support authoring of problem solving knowledge by subject matter experts. Finally, it compares Disciple-RKF with the other development environments from the same DARPA program, providing further support for the proposed guidelines.
