Knowledge-Based Application Generator: An Automatic Approach to Service-oriented Knowledge Management of Systems Knowledge

Application knowledge traditionally is documented by developers in the form of system specifications. While some systems may not be described properly, any revisions are not necessarily updated accurately as they are revised manually. A knowledge-based application generator has been developed that takes in an Xml-based specification language to provide the application service requested. The specification is the application knowledge prescribing the service provided and it is a true reflection of application service being provided. As applications are maintained and revised, each application specification is managed automatically and can be consolidated easily with other service-oriented knowledge.
