@techreport{R-94-34, TITLE = {Transferring Knowledge from Active Expert to End-user Environment}, AUTHOR = {Kristian Sandahl}, YEAR = {1994}, NUMBER = {R-94-34}, INSTITUTION = ida, ADDRESS = idaaddr, ABSTRACTURL = {/publications/cgi-bin/tr-fetch.pl?r-94-34+abstr}, ABSTRACT = {An Active Expert methodology towards knowledge acquisition is proposed. Briefly this methodology implies that the expert should take as active a part as possible in the creation of the knowledge base. The knowledge engineer should act more like a teacher of knowledge structuring, as a tool designer and as a catalyst in the dialogue between the expert and the end-users. By doing so, many of the well-known problems with inter-human conflicts, knowledge engineer filtering, expert and end-user acceptance and maintenance could be reduced. The methodology has been developed during a 10-year period with three practical projects and a close cooperation with research in tool-based knowledge acquisition as the main empirical material. A major part of the paper is devoted to a description of the Active Expert methodology divided into 10 phases. Each phase is exemplified with material from practical projects.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-94-34 }, NOTE = {Accepted to Knowledge Acquisition, vol 6, no 1, pages 1-22}
