61	The modifiability of rule-based expert systems Bottaci, L. January 1985 (has links) This thesis examines the claim that rule representations of knowledge are conveniently modified. The thesis falls into two parts and in the first, a precise notion of a convenient modification, called an extension, is developed and it is shown that extensible knowledge-bases are very convenient to modify and develop. We show that- rule representations of knowledge are extensible only if they incorporate a suitable organisation of knowledge. Furthermore, we show that non-rule representations with a suitable organisation of knowledge are also extensible. We therefore conclude that rule representations of knowledge are no more or less extensible than non-rule representations. In the second part, we consider the more pragmatic aspects of knowledge-base modifiability. In each of two detailed case studies, we compare the modifiability of a rule-based expert system with its "second generation” counterpart which incorporates non-rule representations of knowledge. We conclude that in practice the modifiability of extensible knowledge-bases can be compromised if the organisation of knowledge is represented obscurely. Above all, the thesis emphasizes the importance of the organisation of knowledge in an expert system. 005 Software modification
