  • Abstract
    The convergence of knowledge-based and database technologies in the development of expert databases which store not only values but chunks of knowledge is discussed. The knowledge-based programming perspective is examined, and differences between knowledge bases and databases are identified. It is argued that in spite of converging technologies, the interests of knowledge-base specialists and database specialists differ, and their research directions diverge.<>
