KSDS defines type and structure of the elements of a conceptual net. KSDS generates the internal structure and format of the knowledge base. Hodes and relations of this net are structured in a uniform fashion, consisting of four parts: identification, description of attributes, relations to concepts, and explanations. For each attribute there exists a list of primitives which restricts its type and possible values. The relation part is constructed referencing already defined relations of the structure base. If the structure is changed, KSDS takes care of the re-formating of the knowledge base. The system is currently being used for the definition and maintainance of the knowledge base of an expert system in primary medical care.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/162","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0162.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/162.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/162","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
