Samenvatting
Knowledge articulation software enables learners to create
models and by doing so acquire insights in the behavior of
systems. Tools that bridge the gap between sophisticated
knowledge representation languages and modern application
development techniques are needed in order to facilitate
the creation of such model-building software. This document
describes the design and implementation of such a tool, the
GKOM module, which serves as a basis for knowledge articulation
applications. GKOM offers application developers a knowledge
representation language based on qualitative reasoning, and it
provides modeling support. Additionally, GKOM-based applications
operate in a network for collaborative modeling and learning, in
which communication among modeling applications facilitates
collaborative learning, and communication with remote services
allows for advanced features such as simulation, and central
storage of models.
