Abstract
Ontologies and problem-solving methods are promising candidates for reuse in Knowledge Engineering. Ontologies define domain knowledge at a generic level, while problem-solving methods specify generic reasoning knowledge. Both type of components can be viewed as complementary entities that can be used to configure new knowledge systems from existing, reusable components. In this paper, we give an overview of approaches for ontologies and problem-solving methods. 1 Introduction In 1991, the ARPA Knowledge Sharing Effort [NFF 91] envisioned a new way in which intelligent systems could be built. They proposed the following: "Building knowledgebased systems today usually entails constructing new knowledge bases from scratch. It could be done by assembling reusable components. Systems developers would then only need to worry about creating the specialized knowledge and reasoners new to the specific task of their system. This new system would interoperate with existing systems, us...
