Legislation in the knowledge base paradigm: interactive decision enactment for registration duties

© 2019 IEEE. Recently, a prototype for an interactive decision enactment system for notaries was developed. This prototype follows the Knowledge Base Paradigm (KBP): it consists of purely declarative domain knowledge, to which various logical inference methods can be applied. This paper extends that work in two ways. First, we experimentally validate the claim that the KBP leads to highly maintainable software. Second, we extend the number of additional logical inferences, which allows us to address a number of usability concerns. This provides further evidence for the claim that the KBP is indeed a viable method of developing interactive software systems. The resulting interactive decision enactment prototype is a fully generic system, that can be applied to other domains with minimal effort.
