Knowledge Content

Like in the human mind marked by rationality, goals, and purposeful actions, knowledge in advanced computer systems and intelligent agents is thought to constitute a distinct level lying above the symbol (computational), the logical (algorithmic), and the physical (biological, mechanical) levels (Newell, 1980; Newell, 1990; Newell, 1993). The symbol or code level with its two kinds of representations, data structures (contents) and processes (codes and procedures), is considered to be a representational medium level realizing knowledge content and actuating the agent’s thoughts and decisions. Accordingly, all inquiries of AI usually are arranged as a separate contribution either to the symbol (code) level or to the knowledge (semantic) level. Any sort of logic, whatever may be its generality, contributes little directly to the knowledge level, since “no matter how general a logic is, it is not at the knowledge level” (Newell, 1980). Logical principles are by nature merely rules of reasoning, deductive arguments, and demonstration, they are not principles of real knowledge. So, being neutral to their subjects, formal logical systems neither describe nor represent, nor explain, nor predict any real phenomena. Consequently, nothing substantive can be deduced from the logical axioms or postulates regarding the nature and order of things in the real world. Nevertheless, despite the public fact that logic says nothing about any real thing, and that it is all about proposition and inference forms, there is an established habit to combine formal logic languages with entity taxonomies and typologies so that to construct a general representational language for the DA, in particular, and knowledge technologies, in general (Ontology and Taxonomies, 2001). Nowadays, such versions of logical formalisms and languages as semantic networks, rule systems, fuzzy logic, frame models, predicate calcuThe lus, or situation calculus still constitute all the thrust of current knowledge and reasoning applications. Some AI practitioners feel concern about this conceptual confusion, and urge on replacing “form-oriented AI research” with “content-directed AI Research,” whereby substituting knowledge engineering with ontological (domain knowledge) engineering, thus, underlining the higher value of content theories in comparison with so-called logical mechanism theories (Mizoguchi, 1998).

The European Commission launched a renewed agenda for adult learning with the objective of ensuring access to high-quality educational opportunities to adult learners for the promotion of their personal and professional development. Thus, European researchers in this field are paying attention to lifelong learning actions in order to address this challenge. Studies in this area are exploring how adult education can strengthen adults’ skills, in particular those required in the current knowledge society (information and communication technologies, problem solving, foreign languages, etc.). Simultaneously, some investigations focus in depth on the role that adult education can play in overcoming social exclusion for the most underserved groups. This paper describes the contributions of these investigations as well as the steps carried out by programs and theories that have contributed the most to adult learning. Lastly, future developments and challenges on this field are explained.

The KEML (Knowledge Engineering Methods and Languages) workshop which took place on 22–24 January at the Open University in Milton Keynes (UK) was the seventh in a series of workshops on methods and languages for knowledge engineering. Although t he KEML acronym suggests a broad knowledge engineering connotation, in practice the main emphasis of these workshops is on the construction, formalisation, verification and use of knowledge models. The term “knowledge model” originate s from the work of Allen Newell (1982), who proposed a level of description — the knowledge level — which abstracts from implementation-related considerations to focus on the actions, goals and knowledge embodied by a problem solving agent.

Livestock rearing is one of the major occupations of Chanthang region India and is making significant contribution to the Ladakh’s socioeconomic development.Important role of alfalfa in development of animal husbandry is based on high potential for production of biomass. The study was conducted in eastern Ladakh (India) during 2015-19, due to deficit and scarcity of fodder crops in the region. First part of the study deals with the agronomic and management techniques adopted for cultivation of alfalfa. Second part deals with the adoption and knowledge level of farmers, which was calculated using a questionnaire. Randomly ten villages were selected from eastern Ladakh, in each village, 10 respondents were randomly selected. The study aimed to assess the adoption and knowledge level of alfalfa growers in alfalfa production. Information was obtained with the help of questionnairemethod. The data were analyzed, tabulated and the results were drawn with the help of descriptive statistical methods. The finding of the study revealed that the overall level of Adoption and knowledge of alfalfa production technology was medium. Majority of the farmers (67%) had medium level of knowledge and adoption (60%) of scientific alfalfa cultivation practices. More number of large farmers had high level of knowledge and adoption as compared to medium and small farmers. More awareness programmes should be organized to increase level of knowledge and adoption of cultivation practices to sustain alfalfa production in eastern Ladakh.
