Rather than simply presenting a description of CLASSIC, we complement a brief system overview with a discussion of how to live within the confines of a limited object-oriented deductive system. By analyzing the representational strengths and weaknesses of CLASSIC, we consider the circumstances under which it is most appropriate to use (or not use) it. We elaborate a knowledge-engineering methodology for building KLONE-style knowledge bases, with emphasis on the modeling choices that arise in the process of describing a domain. We also address some of the key difficult issues encountered by new users, including primitive vs. defined concepts, and differences between roles and concepts, as well as representational “tricks-of-the-trade,” which we believe to be generally useful. Much of the discussion should be relevant to many of the current systems based on KLONE.
