- Can anyone tell me the difference between
- - Facts,
- - Rules and
- - Knowledge?
-
- I think a fact is for instance:
- Peter is Johns brother
-
- a rule is:
- if A is B's brother and B is C's brother then A is C's Brother
-
- Knowledge is:
- Transitivity means: If rule R applys to (A,B) and (B,C) then
- it applies also to (A,C)
- is_brother_of, is_boss_of, consists_of, ... are transitive rules.
-
- Am I right?
