Abstract

Explorer-2 is a workstation-based environment to facilitate knowledge management. It provides consistent access to a broad range of knowledge on the basis of purpose, not type. A software architecture was developed which is based on object-oriented programming for Explorer-2. Three classes of program objects have been defined: knowledge viewframes, knowledge resources, and knowledge bases. This results in knowledge management at three levels: the screen level, the disk level, and the metaknowledge level. This design has been applied to several knowledge bases, indicating that this design has broad applicability.
