Ensuring Semantic Integrity of Knowledge Bases for the Reuse-Oriented System Draft
Less and less time is available for developing embedded systems (Time-to-Market). At the same time the complexity and the demands regarding the reliability of such systems are increasing. The way to master these problems lies in reusing validated elements and/or subsystems. The development has gone from small functional units on gate level to the Intellectual Properties (IP) commonly used today. The elements and/or subsystems to be reused including the description of their qualities and their possible combination with other elements and/or subsystems are represented by knowledge units available to the system designer in databases and/or knowledge bases. Whenever new elements and/or modification on existing ones become available, the knowledge base must be updated accordingly. During the maintenance of the knowledge base its complexity may result in inconsistencies which need to be noticed and eliminated. Our paper presents investigation results regarding subproblems related to structuring, administrating, and processing knowledge units. As regards this, the application-invariable preservation of semantic integrity is in the foreground.
