Knowledge elicitation techniques

To obtain information about this incident, an interview with a domain expert was conducted. In the current paper, this interview was used as the only source of information to construct the formal ontology and the traces. Nevertheless, for more complex case smdies it may be interesting to consider more extensive knowledge elicitation techniques, involving a larger number of experts. Some example case studies in which such techniques were applied in the aviation domain are reported in [5] and [9]. 

Of course, we are not the only group of developers who encounter these difficulties it is pervasive throughout expert system development. For discussions of candidate knowledge elicitation techniques, see [3,4,44]. 

It was recognised that if a system was to replace existing established control systems then the Supervisors would have to have a considerable input into the development of the system. Therefore it was decided to apply knowledge elicitation techniques and use rapid prototyping techniques to develop the system. 

The following knowledge elicitation techniques where used ... 

Knowledge-acquisition and elicitation techniques Knowledge acquisition refers to the activity of eliciting and obtaining the knowledge and reasoning processes needed to perform tasks from task performers. 

HAZOP is a formal technique for eliciting insights about system behavior from a multidisciplinary team that collectively has thorough knowledge of the plant and the physical phenomena involved in the plant (Figure 3.3.4-1). 

Knowledge acquisition and elicitation Any of several techniques for obtaining knowledge about a task or system or eliciting it from a human. 

The purpose of the critical incident technique is to identify and take action on the hazards in an operation that have serious injury potential, utilizing the knowledge of skilled safety practitioners and of the work staff. In applying the technique, skilled observers interview a sampling of persons, eliciting their recall of criticar incidents that have occurred that exposed them to operational or physical hazards that gave them cause to be concerned, whether the incidents did or did not result in injury.
