Abstract

Research on explanation in Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a topic that gains momentum. In this context, fundamental issues on what are and to which end do we use explanations have to be reconsidered. This article presents a prelimenary outline of the combination of two recently proposed classifications of explanations based on the type of the explanation itself and user goals which should be fulfilled. Further on, the contribution of the different knowledge containers for modeling the necessary knowledge is examined.
