In the medical domain, there do exist large structured knowledge bases and "expert systems" for diagnosis. Read up on DXplain[1], MYCIN[2] and the UMLS[3]. Even in biology, there seems to be significant activity in formalizing knowledge. It literally took decades to develop and refine these knowledge bases. Creating something general purpose like the Cyc or Semantic Web is very challenging, especially because different people have different notion of "meaning". Just look at the back and forth arguments over some controversial Wikipedia page. This is 100 times more conceptual and challenging. 1. http://dxplain.org/dxp/dxp.pl 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycin 3. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/umls/ |
