METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A KNOWLEDGE BASE SYSTEM

A method for creating knowledge bases comprises conducting a baseline analysis of aspects of developing a knowledge base. At least one aspect is surveyed, results developed, and a knowledge base complexity indicator is developed to demonstrate for each aspect an expected level of effort required in developing and operating the knowledge base. The results are used to define a scope of and approach for developing the knowledge base. They are input to an in-depth analysis, which may comprise a domain analysis, a reservoir analysis, and a vector analysis, and a construction and seeding plan for the knowledge base is output. The knowledge base is constructed and seeded in accordance with the plan. A deployment plan for deployment of the knowledge base is developed, and used to deploy the knowledge base. Operational processes for using, monitoring and maintaining the knowledge base are specified and implemented according to their specifications.
