From article <8006@uklirb.informatik.uni-kl.de>, by es@news.com:
>        2.3  Methodology For Building Expert Systems

   The best books that I have seen for an overview, IMHO, are
   "Crafting Knowledge Based Systems," by John Walters, 1988, Wiley;
   and "Principles of Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems Development"
   by David W. Rolston, McGraw-Hill.
 
>        3.1  Stages Of Knowledge Acquisition

   The best book is have seen for this is "A Practical Guide to Knowledge
   Acquisition: by A. Carlisle Scott, et. al., Addison-Wesley, 1991.
   This book has a wonderful appendix of "Additional Reading" that covers
   most of the questions you have asked.

>             o How are the objects in the domain related?
>             o Can you diagram a hierarchy and label causal relations,
>               set inclusion, part-whole relations, etc.?  What does
>               it look like?
>             o What processes are involved in problem solution?
>             o What are the constraints on these processes?
>             o What is the information flow?

   To analyze the above questions, I would recommend that
   you examine "Object-oriented modeling and design" by James Rumbaugh, et.al.,
   Prentice-Hall, 1991.
