Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of knowledge acquisition for
a knowledge-based system (KBS) for foundation
subsidence. It reviews the variety of techniques available
and discusses how some of these have been employed in the
development of the system. The relative merits and
demerits of the various approaches in this application area
are highlighted and the steps being taken to overcome the
problems encountered outlined in this critical stage of the
system development. The importance of the choice of
appropriate experts, their attitude to the development of the
KBS, their enthusiasm, availability, the ability to convey
their thought processes, are included in the paper. The
paper concludes that the success of a knowledge-based
system is heavily reliant on the quality of the knowledge
acquisition process, and the expert(s) whose knowledge is
encapsulated within the system.
