Part II: A Grammar for Knowledge Representation Part I: Knowledge Representation in Context Before citing, please refer to the official Springer version and citation.Ģ. The full AKRP book and all chapters and appendices are now available in the pre-release author’s version for free download, marked below with the PDF icon ( ). It is built from the ground up to reflect Peircean principles. KBpedia is a ready baseline for users to bridge from and expand for their own domain needs and applications. Throughout, the book refers to and leverages the open source KBpedia knowledge graph and its public knowledge bases, including Wikipedia and Wikidata. The three main parts that are the meat of the approach first address the terminologies and grammar of knowledge representation, then building blocks for KR systems, and then design, build, test, and best practices in putting a system together. The first and last parts are bookends that first set the context and background and conclude with practical applications. Knowledge representation is an essential foundation for knowledge-based AI. KR applications range from semantic technologies and knowledge management and machine learning to information integration, data interoperability, and natural language understanding. Knowledge representation is shorthand for how to represent human symbolic information and knowledge to computers to solve complex questions. Besides the ability to capture meaning and context, the Peircean approach is also well-suited to machine learning and knowledge-based artificial intelligence. The book follows Peirce’s practical guidelines and universal categories in a structured approach to knowledge representation that captures differences in events, entities, relations, attributes, types, and concepts. Peirce, the 19th century founder of American pragmatism, who was also a logician, scientist, mathematician, and philosopher of the first rank. This major work on knowledge representation is based on the insights of Charles S.
