Acquisition of Knowledge from a Database Gio Wiederhold, Ph.D. 1 Robert L. Blum, M.D., Ph.D. 2 Michael Walker 3 Departments of Medicine (1,3) and Computer Science (1,2) Stanford University March 1988 Presentation 1. Review of general concepts as used by us 2. Overview of RX 3. Data and knowledge processing 4. The Architecture to support RX 5. General Conclusions 6. Future Work Objectives 1. Gain an understanding for interactions in a large knowledge-data system 2. Get a feeling for some of the detailed implementation issues 3. Learn from a working system, not fantasy This is not an introduction to AI . . . 1.

General descriptions or abstractions on classes of objects or events 2. Predicting the future 3. Obtained from experts 4. Uncertain and not verifiable \bigskip {\bf Information:} 1. Data or knowledge previously unknown to the receiver 2. Used for decision-making \vfill Litmus test: If an automatic process or clerk can collect the material then we are talking about {\sl data.} \bigskip If an expert has to provide the material then we are talking about {\sl knowledge}.
