The paper presents the approach aimed at building modularized knowledge bases in a systematic, context-aware way. The paper focuses on logical modeling of such knowledge bases, including an underlying SIM metamodel. The architecture of a comprehensive set of tools for knowledge-base systems engineering is presented. The tools enable an engineer to design, create and edit a knowledge base schema according to a novel context approach...

The knowledge stored in Ontology Management Systems (OMS) that originally has the form of expressions, can be seen as a user application specification or as knowledge provided by an expert. The generator of applications discussed in this paper is defined as a program that automatically generates an application that meets a certain specification stored in OMS. It is shown that it is possible to build a user interface for data management...

We present an approach to reasoning with projection, i.e. reasoning in which it is possible to focus on a selected part of knowledge (by neglecting some non-interesting fragments). Projection is most useful for modular knowledge bases in which only parts of knowledge have to be exchanged or imported to other modules. In this paper we present an optimized method of reasoning over results of projection. The tests indicate that the...

W referacie pokazano zastosowanie logiki opisowej do opisu wybranych ontologii pojawiajcych si w inynierii oprogramowania, wymagajcych wsparcia ze strony inynierii wiedzy. Omówione zagadnienia to: inynieria wymaga, opis architektury oprogramowania wysokiego poziomu, opis projektu systemu i ontologia kodu programu. Wskazano zastosowanie systemów wnioskujcych (ang. knowledge reasoner) do automatycznego odkrywania wiedzy w systemach...
