A Combining Method for Systems Requirement of Knowledge - Based Medical Hazardous Waste

Abstract

Applying Knowledge-Based Systems (KBS) for hazardous medical waste (HMW) are still limited according to knowledge sources. The two mechanisms of the KBS are commonly known as rulebased and case-based, which can be extracted based on existing regulations that are divided into global, national, provincial, and local authorities. This study used Soft System Methodology and regulation approaches to find out the gaps in coordinating and managing HMW in Indonesia. It is used to depict the rule, processes, and stakeholders for identifying the features of the KBS. The study was taken using fourstage of SSM conducted to classify the objects and their feature requirements. The knowledge source was verified and validated using Focus Group Discussion and represented on CATWOE mode. Most of the regulations are not complying with the practicality of the HMW since it is produced until disposal. The methods give an alternative for knowledge engineers to feed the basis of knowledge.
