Task4From Kolflow ProjectTitle : Traces and explanations: documenting inferences, query solving and interactions Code : 4 Responsible : Edelweiss Activities : Design and experiment tracing and explanation approaches Start Date : End Date :
Objectives : As the knowledge bases grow larger and as more and more actors (human users, artificial agents) contribute to these knowledge bases, the ability to trace and understand the activity is becoming vital. This task will focus on local means an individual knowledge base should provide to trace and analyze the users interactions both for the edition and the querying of the knowledge, each action being the subject of a subtask. Work plan This task is directly linked to one of the PhD subjects defined in this proposal and includes several milestones
Success criteria : The ultimate goal of this task would be to demonstrate a query interface implementing explanation and suggestion means. Risks : Query documentation on the semantic web is not really addressed so far and the query mechanisms are more often optimized and more and more complex than opened and explained. One of the major risks is the fracture between the complexity of the query solving algorithm and data structures on one hand and the simplification of interfaces on the other. However we believe that the use of formal knowledge together with its natural language documentation can help automate the explanation.
