Abstract :
A study is presented which involves eliciting methods used by OR (operations research) experts in building LP (linear programming) formulations for textbook problem statements. As a first step, the authors pay special attention to eliciting the knowledge representation (KR) schema used by OR experts, an aspect which previous work in this area left to the knowledge engineer´s discretion. The authors argue that a more `natural´ system can be developed by using expert KR schema
