Abstract
The MESON project aims at a unified view at data- and knowledge base management systems (DBMS/KBMS). A KL-ONE based knowledge representation system has been implemented and is now evaluated from a terminologically independent viewpoint. The main topic of this evaluation can be summarized under the term “data model“, including definitions of data types, operations on data and knowledge base consistency. This paper gives a short introduction to some of the concepts of the MESON system and reports on criticism on this approach from the standpoint of database research.
