Abstract

The semantic validation of a knowledge base (KB) consists in checking its quality according to constraints given by an expert. The refinement of a KB consists in correcting the errors that are detected during the validation, in order to restore the KB validity. We propose to perform the semantic validation and refinement of a KB composed of conceptual graphs in two stages. First, we study the coherence of the KB with respect to negative constraints, which represent the knowledge that the KB must not contain. When the KB is not coherent, we propose a solution to correct all the errors of the KB. Second, we study the completeness of the KB with respect to positive constraints, which represent the knowledge that the KB must contain. When the KB is not complete, we propose an assistant, which helps the user to correct the errors of the KB one by one.
