Abstract

The KEML (Knowledge Engineering Methods and Languages) workshop which took place on 22–24 January at the Open University in Milton Keynes (UK) was the seventh in a series of workshops on methods and languages for knowledge engineering. Although t he KEML acronym suggests a broad knowledge engineering connotation, in practice the main emphasis of these workshops is on the construction, formalisation, verification and use of knowledge models. The term “knowledge model” originate s from the work of Allen Newell (1982), who proposed a level of description — the knowledge level — which abstracts from implementation-related considerations to focus on the actions, goals and knowledge embodied by a problem solving agent.
