Abstract
Evaluation has remained a major challenge for knowledge acquisition
and little data is available on how experts actually use
knowledge acquisition technology. A number of companies offer
Ripple-Down Rules to enable on-going knowledge acquisition
and maintenance while a system is in use. One of these companies,
Pacific Knowledge Systems has logged user activity over a
number of years. Data from these logs demonstrate that domain
experts continue to add knowledge to a knowledge base over
years. The logs also demonstrate that new knowledge can be
added very rapidly regardless of knowledge base size or age. We
assume that the on-going knowledge acquisition observed was
driven by the need to make changes and encouraged and allowed
by the ease of the knowledge acquisition technology used. The
question arises of whether experts in other domains would also
chose to continue to add knowledge to their knowledge bases if
this was supported.
