We have implemented the system with the goal of encouraging sharing as well as the collaborative construction of know ledge bases describing physical domains. To maximize the chance of sharing and reuse of knowledge, COME is implemented as a collection of network services on the World Wide Web . Knowledge is represented at three distinct levels: the physical, ontological, and logical. We describe the levels of representation , and how the system enables knowledge sharing at each level.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/73","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0073.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/73.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/73","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
