Detailed Description

The PSM Librarian supports you in building a knowledge-based application out of reusable knowledge components known as Problem-Solving Methods (PSMs). PSMs are generic, formalized and implemented algorithms that encode domain-independent strategies to realize common cognitive tasks (known as generic tasks, e.g., classification, diagnosis, design) by processing domain knowledge. As such, PSMs serve as reasoning building blocks (often collected in libraries) that can be assembled with a domain knowledge base to create a running system.

The PSM Librarian tab plugin for Protege serves as a front-end interface between one of your domain projects and a set of PSM libraries (modeled with the UPML language). The PSM Librarian allows you to browse several PSM libraries in a uniform way and thus to make an informed selection of a PSM that suits your domain task and knowledge. The PSM Librarian then allows you to configure a PSM to fit the specifics of your domain application, by creating interactively a set of mapping relations between the entities of your domain and the input-output entities specified by the PSM. The PSM Librarian provides an integrated and simultaneous support for you to view and manage all three Protégé projects involved in the configuration process (domain, method and mappings). The PSM Librarian includes an interpreter that processes those mapping relations to re-formulate your domain knowledge in terms that are appropriate for activating the PSM. (Note that the current version of the PSM Librarian tab does not support the actual activation of the configured PSM with case data.)
