Abstract :
This paper presents the Disciple-RKF methodology for rapid development of large knowledge bases which relies on importing ontological knowledge from existing knowledge repositories, on parallel development of separate knowledge bases by subject matter experts, and on the merging of these knowledge bases into a high performance integrated knowledge base. The paper discusses several issues related to ontology import and merging, and presents the results of a successful knowledge base development and integration experiment performed at the US Army War College.
