Improving Consistency Within Knowledge Bases

This paper shows how automatic symbolic classification of all knowledge objects in a knowledge base can alleviate the task of knowledge acquisition. It presents a knowledge representation structure, called knowledge space, that permits such symbolic classification. Simple and efficient algorithms which create the structure are also presented1.
