SHERPA project
Object knowledge bases
The SHERPA project ended on December 31, 1999. Its
activities have been transferred to 3 new research actions:
EXMO,
HELIX et
ROMANS.

Project overview
Scientific and technical knowledge bases gather and structure different
categories
of knowledge: descriptive on the entities of the domain, functional on the
behavior of these entities, and prescriptive on the ways to complete and
characterize these descriptions. Moreover, formalized knowledge has to be
associated with terminological and textual knowledge in order to be
justified and
annotated.
The Sherpa project designs and studies knowledge models, together with
their
exploitation mechanisms, which are adapted to the requirements of these
scientific and technical knowledge bases. A knowledge base management
system
is being developed. It supports an incremental and cooperative design
process.
All these fundamental and technical results are experimented through the
design
of knowledge bases in molecular biology and of corporate memories.
Keywords: knowledge representation, knowledge bases, object knowledge
models, classification, categorisation, types, constraints, tasks,
problem solving, molecular biology, multiple standpoints, medicine diagnosis,
granularity, corporate memory.
