CONT

A procedural representation of a fact is a set of instructions that when carried out, arrive at a result consistent with the fact ... In principle, any procedural representation can be recast as a declarative representation, and vice-versa. The two perspectives, considered as two complementary aspects of knowledge, an often referred to as dual semantics. (Fig. 4.14 - Dual semantics-two perspectives on the same knowledge).

CONT

In procedural representations, knowledge about the world is contained in procedures.

CONT

Suppose ... that a telephone directory were stored in a computer database and that we had a program which could look up a particular person's number in the directory. ... The program itself ... contains knowledge about how a directory is searched. The specification of method is called a procedural representation.

CONT

[...] une représentation est procédurale lorsque la connaissance que l'on veut lui faire exprimer est représentable algorithmiquement. La représentation procédurale correspond à des plans instanciés, c'est-à-dire des procédures. Le mécanisme d'instanciation correspond à la spécification d'une connaissance plus générale.

CONT

Une représentation procédurale contient directement le programme qui examine la séquence de mots et la règle qui décrit le groupe nominal.

CONT

Dans les représentations procédurales, la connaissance est représentée sous forme de programmes ad-hoc. Les langages de programmation classiques, comme COBOL, FORTRAN, ou PASCAL [...] en font partie. [...] Le grand avantage des représentations procédurales est leur efficacité. Par contre, elles sont opaques.

OBS

Dans un système expert les connaissances sont représentées sous forme déclarative. D'autres connaissances (représentées sous forme de règles de production) expriment l'expertise du spécialiste.
