  knowledge representation
  KR
  
     The subfield of artificial intelligence concerned with
     designing and using systems for storing knowledge - facts
     and rules about some subject.
  
     A body of formally represented knowledge is based on a
     conceptualisation - an abstract view of the world that we
     wish to represent.  In order to manipulate this knowledge we
     must specify how the abstract conceptualisation is represented
     as a concrete data structure.  An ontology is an explicit
     specification of a conceptualisation.
