      1. The act or state of knowing; clear perception of fact,
            truth, or duty; certain apprehension; familiar cognizance;
            cognition.
  
                     Knowledge, which is the highest degree of the
                     speculative faculties, consists in the perception of
                     the truth of affirmative or negative propositions.

                     There is a great difference in the delivery of the

                     Knowledges is a term in frequent use by Bacon, and,
                     though now obsolete, should be revived, as without
                     it we are compelled to borrow [bd]cognitions[b8] to
                     express its import.                           --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
                     To use a word of Bacon's, now unfortunately
                     obsolete, we must determine the relative value of
                     knowledges.                                       --H. Spencer.
  
      3. That which is gained and preserved by knowing;

      5. Scope of information; cognizance; notice; as, it has not
            come to my knowledge.
  
                     Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   knowledge
  
      The objects,
      concepts and relationships that are assumed to exist in some
      area of interest.   A collection of {knowledge}, represented
      using some {knowledge representation} language is known as a
      {knowledge base} and a program for extending and/or querying a
      knowledge base is a {knowledge-based system}.
  
      Knowledge differs from {data} or {information} in that new
      knowledge may be created from existing knowledge using logical
      {inference}.   If information is data plus meaning then
      knowledge is information plus processing.
  
      A common form of knowledge, e.g. in a {Prolog} program, is a
      collection of {fact}s and {rule}s about some subject.
  
      For example, a {knowledge base} about a family might contain
      the facts that John is David's son and Tom is John's son and
      the rule that the son of someone's son is their grandson.
      From this knowledge it could infer the new fact that Tom is
      David's grandson.
  
      See also {Knowledge Level}.

      (KADS) A structured way of developing

   knowledge base
  
      A collection of {knowledge}
      expressed using some formal {knowledge representation}

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   knowledge level
  
      A level of description of the
      {knowledge} of an {agent} that is independent of the agent's
      internal {symbol-level} representation.   Knowledge can be
      attributed to agents by observing their actions.   An agent
      "knows" something if it acts as if it had the information and
      is acting rationally to achieve its goals.   The "actions" of
      agents, including knowledge base servers and {knowledge-based
      systems}, can be seen through a "tell and ask" functional
      interface, where a client interacts with an agent by making
      {logical assertion}s (tell), and posing queries (ask).

   Knowledge Management System
  
      (KMS) A distributed {hypermedia} system for managing knowledge

      research with {ZOG} at {Carnegie Mellon University}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language
  
      (KQML) A
      language and {protocol}, based on {SGML}, for exchanging
      {information} and {knowledge}, proposed in 1993(?).
  
      Work on KQML is led(?) by Tim Finin of the
      University of Maryland Baltimore County, Lab for Advanced
      Information Technology.   It is part of the {ARPA} {Knowledge
      Sharing Effort}.
  
      The KQML message format and protocol can be used to interact
      with an intelligent system, either by an {application
      program}, or by another intelligent system.   KQML's
      "performatives" are operations that agents perform on each
      other's knowledge and {goal} stores.   Higher-level
      interactions such as {contract nets} and negotiation are built
      using these.   KQML's "communication facilitators" coordinate
      the interactions of other agents to support knowledge sharing.
  
      Experimental prototype systems support concurrent engineering,
      intelligent design, intelligent planning, and scheduling.

   knowledge representation
  
      The subfield of {artificial intelligence} concerned with
      designing and using systems for storing knowledge - {fact}s
      and {rule}s about some subject.
  
      A body of formally represented knowledge is based on a
      {conceptualisation} - an {abstract} view of the world that we
      wish to represent.   In order to manipulate this knowledge we
      must specify how the abstract conceptualisation is represented
      as a {concrete} data structure.   An {ontology} is an explicit
      specification of a conceptualisation.

      The {Cyc} project is an example of a large KBS.
