I’m making a few changes to emphasize that KBS are not just IF-THEN forward/backward-chainers, but also include other approaches to representing knowledge and other approaches to reasoning. Especially, I wanted to tie in the work in KR&R and increase the emphasis on logic and automated reasoning systems, beyond the mention of the semantic web. Additionally, blackboard systems and knowledge-based systems with meta-level reasoning illustrate knowledge-based approaches more sophisticated than IF-THEN rules. Without these changes or similar ones, the richness of approaches to knowledge representation (the knowledge base) and reasoning (the inference engine) are lost.

I removed the mention of user-interfaces since the key distinguishing features are the KB and reasoning capabilities. Of course, a user-interface is an integral part of a deployed application, but it does not distinguish a KBS as most deployed applications will have user interfaces.

Finally, I also made some minor wording changes. Veritas Aeterna (talk) 00:36, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is Mind Map Software [1] just another term for Knowledge Based System? I think there is a double standard in this Wikipedia in which some advertisers/advertising is able to be listed and other is not. I would like someone to explain why my attempt to add a page about General Knowledge Base [2] was rejected and yet there are several pages about Mind Map Software that is just advertising.Tesseraltyme 12:42, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, Mind Map software and Knowledge Based Systems are not the same thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.116.247.36 (talk) 08:53, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be two entries for this topic. This one, obviously, and the following, which offers a redirect to Expert_system: Knowledge_based_system — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philip sheldrake (talk • contribs) 21:53, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
