Abstract

The issue of knowledge representation has been one of the main problems of artificial intelligence since its first attempts at automated reasoning. Two streams of the evolution of knowledge representation tools may be observed. The first one, developed mainly at academia, results in theoretically sound, but usually inefficient systems. The second one, related to software developers, puts high emphasis on pragmatism and often remains resistant to adopting new results of the theoretical research. None of them has achieved the goal of developing a satisfactory solution, yet. Since over the last few years knowledge representation has gained more attention, particularly in the context of the Semantic Web, it seems reasonable to make a short review of the evolution of knowledge representation systems.
